The perceived value is that he can allegedly sell the club and keep the profits unlike the deal he has with the knights where every cent of profit (Originally Posted by militiamon

Only problem is who's willing to buy the jets, especially when you look at the positives like large membership base (only since the reduced memberships), good bunch of young players (debatable really, whats goodwin achieved here, Brown?, I don't think Birra is fazed about moving asap), Stadium lease deal
I think he's dreaming if he thinks he's going to get someone to stump up $5m for a regional team that is lucky to 1/3rd fill its stadium, with a green coaching staff, infant youth programs that have shown no real fruits yet (too early to tell if it will be successful) & limited potential in current contracted players for transfer.
Its not like city football groups grow on trees, and the major players would be looking for larger cities than Newcastle. You might get an asian based investor, or group but why would they choose to pay $5m for the jets, what exactly are they getting?
