As I see it, VT in the first instance would have to convert his loans to equity (shares). On floating the company, these shares would acquire an initial value which could increase / decrease. This is the risk he has to quantify.

If the venture looks attractive to potential investors and there is demand from these to invest, then you would expect the share price to rise and VT's investment to increase in value.

Extra money is being put into the club, which is to everyone's benefit if used wisely.

Assuming the club continues to do well, the share price will hold up, but should the plan go t*ts up and we get relegated, then in all probability the value of each share will fall and VT is in real danger of facing a loss.

I would be worried if following a floatation VT was effectively selling his own shareholding to new investors and reducing his exposure accordingly.

Spot on TDA. A good point to remember if you are worried about this is that Tan made £90million via the same process when Facebook floated.

I've done some floatings this morning too, although, I think that has more to do with the spicy chicken I ate last night coat
