I'd agree with you if you were looking at the size of the club as it is, but if you look at the demographics of the area, then it becomes clearer why Blackburn in particular represents an interesting portfolio to an Indian investor.

I mean, just so long as we put up a fight and give it our all, it really doesn't matter that come 10pm tonight, Manchester United will have torn our club an entirely new arsehole, does it?

Do we have any German speakers on this forum? A rudimentary google translation of "Schweinsteiger" reveals that it translates as PIG WOMANISER or PIG OVERMAN. Is that correct? If so, it's quite amusing at a puerile level.
TBH I don't know where you got those figures from re Kris Boyd's salary demands, but I'd heard it was North of £45k a week he was after. He's not worth that.
