What does Mr Khan take out of FFC??

Has any media outlet asked what exactly does Shad Khan intends to take out of the club financially??

I suspect that if anyone did he would politely tell them it was none of their business. If they insisted, he might well get a little less polite. What being chairman of Fulham gets our new chairman is access. Access to boardrooms up and down the country where influential people gather to discuss the football, and no doubt other matters of mutual interest. No doubt one of the things his advisers will be telling him is who is likely to be at which game this season.

As for what he intends to take out financially, I wonder if he is as yet aware that a football club swallows money more readily than pays it out. I suspect he may well be.

If you had asked Mohammed Al Fayed back in 1997, and received a truthful answer, it would have been '400 prime apartments on the river'. That wasn't to be the case, and it will never be the case.

Shad Khan seems to be pushing the right buttons at the moment, but you will never find out what his intentions are, unless of course he is just another eccentric billionaire benefactor for our little club by the banks of the river. Just like Chairman Mo eventually became.
"We won't look back on this season with regret, but with pride. Because we won what many teams fail to win in a lifetime – an unprecedented degree of respect and support that saw British football fans unite and cheer on Fulham with heart." Mohammed Al Fayed, May 2010

Could you please provide an example of someone asked a similar question in a similar circumstance and received an answer you find satisfactory.  If not, why would you ask this?

FWIW I don't think that was ever the case. Impossible to prove, but if the Fulham River Projects scheme ten years ago lies behind your suspicion/allegation, remember three things: a) that scheme was half that size you imply, some of it moreover social housing; b) the price for the land was £50m, with £35m of that only accruing when the scheme was complete. Developer's margin (and MAF wasn't the developer) would be additional but less.  c) FFC would have needed re-housing, hardly at zero cost. Therefore an ambition such as you suggest was not in play by that stage anyway. Prior to purchasing the club, impossible to know, but unlikely for reasons of realism if nothing else.
