Art of the Deal

When I started this club, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and six million pounds. Today I have a football empire the like of which the world has never seen the like of which. I hope it doesn't sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world!

“A small loan of a million dollars”

What’s the value of the investment now?

[–] Kovacs171@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Almost certainly less because its a business likley operating at a net loss

Reminds me of the classic line from IT crowd - “ When I started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and six million pounds.”
