As long as they have enough money to f*** Ashley off and do a little initial business (appointing a manager etc), how much money they have to burn is completely irrelevant if the club is run correctly.

 

We know this from Ashley's tenure ffs.

 

May we be hypothetical for just a moment.

 

This man "Moat" is appointed. We get Shearer in, take 5m from Martins deal and potential 5m from Bassong, and invest that in Player X,Y, and Z. We get promoted to the Premier League. How do we improve on the bunch of muppets that got us promoted to stop a repeat of the season 2 back.

 

Sadly, this game is becoming quite money centric, and that's before the fact we have to gain back the ground we have lost and will lose while outside the top flight.

West Ham and Wigan are good examples of spending wisely. Anything is possible tbh.

Very cliched i know, but we're still a Premier League club at heart - providing we're not down here for too long. If all things go well this coming season, we can just look over this year as a blip. I see no reason (if we promote ourselves at a canter) why we won't be as much of a catch for incoming players as we were 12 months ago. Probably a greater one, in all honesty.

 

Cross bridges when we come to em, and all that. Just get promoted.

Surely this means there's some truth in it, question now is: can Ashley be thick enough to not accept the bid? I wouldn't put it past him :undecided:

 

he is absolutely thick enough. but there comes a moment when even he has to say enough is enough.....he's inflicted more than enough torture on us and all he needs is a moment of sanity. accept it mike, please.

He might not accept this bid but if the threat makes another lot up theirs enough then it'll still be worth it.

Hire a good manager rarher then a shit one and spend the huge sums of money this club generates (13th highest turnover in world Football with no European Football and finishing 12th in the Premiership) on good players instead of highly paid shit.  This club can sustain itself and compete financially if run well (not with plastic clubs like Chelsea and Man City but most others).  Like others have said the likes of Wigan have done it and the money they generate would probably fit inside our revenue at least twice.

There's also two major financial incentives for any owner to get us back in the Premeir League at the first pop (Well 3 if you count TV money)

 

Sponsorship deal runs out at the end of the season with Northern Rock

Shirt Deal with Adidas runs out in 2010/11 season

 

If we're back in the Premier League, both should be good for a nice windfall towards new players
