Can anyone remember the level of debt owed by the club when our current owners took over? Seem to remember it being a few hundred thousand... I believe it's now in the region of £6.7m?
I can't, but I'm really not sure how much it matters, in the short- to medium-term at least.
The club has nowhere near the kind of cash needed to service those debts. If they're called in the end-game would be winding-up proceedings, at which point KT/DB wouldn't see a penny anyway.
They can't just 'strip the assets' as I've seen suggested in at least one post on here. That is unless they're not arsed about their other directorships and/or any they might hope to hold in the future. Even then they'd struggle to come out sitting pretty.
The loans are, to all intents and purposes, a gift. That is true until the club generates enough cash to cover them, at which point why shouldn't the owners get their money back?
