Dirk Gently The only way the debt will be cleared (short of suddenly discovering a team of Kevin Doyles) is by selling the club.


Would the asking price include the level of debt?

Who knows! Depends on terms if a buye is ever found. I'd suspect not though - I don't think the residual debt is anywhere as big as most people think.

I refer the honourable gentleman to my last point:

handbags_harris ...the debt is not going to be cleared any time soon.


No buyer in the offing, therefore no clearance of debt.

Indeed. I was merely amplifying your post for the benefit of the hard of thinking on here.

I thought it was something like £10m, plus £20m ish for the hotel. Presumably JM has taken back everything else he put in, and cant see a problem if he has.

Why does the club have to be sold with the hotel? Can't Madejski pare them out and sell them off individually?

Sell the Hotel to a big chain or something, then think about selling the club afterwards?

Or is the hotel providing an income for the club?

The hotel is most definitely providing an income for the club.

Isn't the "Millennium" a chain of hotels anyway? I thought he sold out to them, but used his name. Turns out, I was wrong...

He owns the hotel, and licences it to them. The most cost-effective way for everyone..

The hotel is most definitely providing an income for the club.


£500,000 net profit per annum before the extension. Might be more now since the extra rooms were added.

Mr Mad is owed £17.5Mill approx by RFC for the building of the hotel. I believe this loan is interest free.

He is also owed c. £8M by RFC for loans related to footballing activities. This loan was at 1% below base rate before the Credit Crunch, don't know whether the rate was renegotiated once the base rate went to 0.5%. I guess not, but there might be a clause that limits the rate to 0% in the event it went negative. No interest is paid on this loan. It accrues annually and currently the Club owes Mr Mad just over £2M in accrued interest.

As we know, there is now no bank overdraft, but there are other minor loans to various parties, although nothing of much significance comapred to Mr Mad's loans.
