Sounds like they need a robust Supporters Trust !

I believe Fulham are second behind Man Utd (Glazier) debt. He has been covering them every year and the debt is getting bigger. Guess it all depends if it was a loan or out of his own pocket

I vaguely recall it was £160+m a few years ago and quite recently was converted to equity - presumably due to FFP.

Real estate value must be worth the best part of that anyway. The football club owns other parts of local land as well as the main ground.

He really welcomed the new owner like this...

Al Fayed wrote off all of fulham's debt last season I think. Can definitely see why some one would want to buy them. As long as they stay in the premier league they're a cash cow.

At this point in time Fulham at £200 m are still a better proposition than Charlton at £30 m. If they were to be relegated then that would be different, but at the moment he gets a substantial amount back with the TV money coming through. He has a nucleus of a team that is experienced in the Prem, therefore he has only to spend to fill gaps rather than build a Prem squad.

Exactly. If he has that much money the chances he may know more about business, risk/ reward.
I am certain he didn't pick Fulham out of a hat.
