THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

There is no single entity that would be saleable. It would have to a package of various parts of the set up. But what sort of package could he put together that would attract a soccer mad multi millionaire ?

I'm not even sure that he would be free to offer the stadium without some agreement with MK Council.

Even the stadium has parts that a soccer buyer would probably not want to be responsible for. The Arena , the hotel, the Italian resteraunt etc for example.

So what exactly has Pete got that he could sell as a football club ?

From where I'm sat, or more accurately laying, it looks like he's beginning to lose interest in the football side of things.

We were one point away from The Championship a couple of seasons ago. Look where we are now. Sweeting offered to resign, Pete turned him down. I think someone's already mentioned that it's probably more to do with the fact that we'd struggle to replace him than the fact that he, Sweeting, massively fucked up last year.

I like going to football. Like the so-called matchday experience, meet up with friends, couple of vastly expensive pints, and just talk shit. The football has become a bit of a byproduct for me. As I've constantly banged on about, I'm really not well, and last season finally did it for me. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again now, it's only a fucking game.

We all know how the club came to be in MK1, a retail park development. If it hadn't been Wimbledon, it would've been someone else. I'm constantly amazed that folk are constantly amazed that Pete puts his other money-making ventures before the football club. He's a businessman, pure and simple, a businessman. Witness the recent parking debacle. There was no real reason to do that. There's plenty of spaces in and around the stadium. The only reason to do it is to squeeze even more money out of an already dwindling fan base.

It's not rocket science, he's a businessman who's out to make money, and the sooner folk grasp that, the happier folk will be.

The football club is just the players.
Everything else is hired off and owned by inter.
When Pete has said about outside investment at meet the fans nights he made it clear that he couldn't sell to anybody with assets of less than 50 million as he said that's what it would take.
Would you pay 50 million for a bunch of players without owning the stadium or any other assets.

To be accurate, he said the buyer would need those assets to succeed in getting the club into the top divisions; it wasn’t his price.

He also implied he would only sell to someone with this ambition, so they would need to be very significantly wealthy, in a way that Pete isn't.

I honestly can't see anyone wanting to take on a football club with a dwindling customer base and can't make any money out of it because they don't own the Stadium.
