I dont doubt the club was sold. What I dont know is how much the owners pocketed. I find it almost impossible to believe that they kept / banked anywhere close to the ~£6m is reported they sold the club for. Do the Trust have visibility of all the associated costs / transactions and what the net profit was?
This is along the lines of an email I have sent via the Trust website
I have only seen evidence of the sale of their shares for £6.68m.
I would have thought that had there been significant costs reducing what the owners ultimately received they might have wanted to publicise it. They are quite within their rights to retain proceeds of the sale of personal shareholdings, but when the club is in debt to them for a very similar amount it's not the best look and if I were in that situation I would want to set the record straight.
