That's how I see it too. I reckon he'll sell up in a year when the debt is more manageable and the embargo is over, which will make the club a far more attractive proposition than it is currently.I get the impression he's wealthy but not loaded enough to bankroll the club, maybe a bit like Doughty in that regard (most of ND's wealth was in DH and though he was rich, he rightly felt the club needed to run itself more than it did, he was a good owner in that respect).
He owns the ground so there's no real obstacles to that not becoming a problem for the club.
So there's just the whole point of the HMRC debt, debt to football creditors which is preventing them at present from leaving admin along with the fact they have no players and a transfer embargo restricting who they can bring in when they leave admin... and that there's a decent chance their other players will want to leave as well.
But I think he will be a good stop gap owner for them in the very least to try and steady the ship (they have basically nothing, so realistically the only way is improvement) - they do have a good chance once the debt is cleared off for being more financially stable than they've been in a long time.
It's probably good news for them if this does go through, but as you say, the beginning of the end of their problems, they will probably get relegated again but at least will be able to rebuild.
