Before Derek, we were regularly just keeping above the drop zone, attendances were falling year on year, sponsorship/advertising/hospitality revenues were falling, etc. Jim may have been a sound bloke but the club was stagnant and declining. The club was selling off land just to finance the losses! Jason/Colin didn't put shedloads of money in - their money was spent on buying the shares from Lemos/Carlos/Abdul/PMG and on repaying loans. Player wages budget only slightly increased when Jason/Colin took over.
Would be interesting to try and find out the actual amount of money involved....but doubt there is any info that can be found that is not classified as being confidential.
IF a figure can be found it may go some way to guess estimate the current asking price as Jason / Colin will want that amount plus significant interest back.
