And how are we supposed to get a new stadium and sponsor without a new owner? Zhang nor Oaktree is not very likely to do so, either because of being incapable to do so or unwilling to do so.
Oaktree only tool in the toolbox will be cutting cost, cutting cost in this case mean reduce the biggest expenditures that is the payroll, to do so means selling those players with highest salary.
oaktree won’t pay out our dept that should be nearing €700m. Also the whole paying out the whole depth is also at large not really a necessity action. It’s normal for companies and especially sports team to have some dept, dept in itself isn’t an issue. What needs to be done is just reduce it to a more sustainable level, so interests rates get more manageable. Paying out the whole chunk is completely unnecessary action.
There also several ways you can finanse stadium projects, for example selling the naming rights is one way to reduce the cost on your behalf.
