The owners could always get rid of the assets, pay themselves large sums of money and still put the club up for sale.
My feeling was they would do the below.
1) NC leave
2) get a replacement for NC to market the club.
3) Poch leave
4) put the club on the market.
5) replace Poch with a cheap option
6) start transferring players for big money (if no one was coming forward at the price the owners were looking for.
7) put the club on the market for less, but pocket large amounts if money from transfer fees, to make up the difference.
I was hoping this would not be true, but 'some' of this seems to be happen.
