If we didn't know what we know, I don't think people would have the same view, they would take anyone but Ashley. I think because we've had this Rosey image painted for us of total investment in club and area it could feel a bitter pill settling for anyone else. I still want Ashley gone, but our only opportunity at obscene wealth was this bid. If this doesn't work out then we will have to push for anyone else. If PIF somehow become Involved with another PL club down the line I will be pissed mind Edit: I think in another world where Fatboy hadn't absolutely tore the arsehole out of the club, any billionaire would do. But we know the very state of this club top to bottom and they're going to need pretty deep pockets or a fair chunk of time repairing us.

Lazarus Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Yeah - Ive said before in here, as have others, that if it fails then I'll have to look at where I want to invest my time, my money and my sanity. Can't be arsed with worrying about a relegation battle as soon as the season starts, for what is it now, 9 or 10 seasons in a row? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to that - I realise that there are many, many clubs whose existence is a series of relagation battles and that in one sense, Im lucky to support a PL club with players like ASM in the squad. I just want a bit of hope mixed in with the misery. A cup run, a gem of a player from the academy coming though, a club identity, the belief that everyone behind the scenes is trying their hardest etc etc Surely thats not being greedy?

In an ideal world, no. But in that same ideal world Man City and Chelsea should be sold too, as well as any clubs with American owners who don't have the club's best interests as their priority.

Exactly! Get the saudis in. They invest in just about every other big company in the world and no cunt bats an eyelid. Are they the richest owners out there? Yes! Right, that's who I want!

nbthree3 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hope that kills you isn't it? If it sounds too good to be true it probably is and £250m in the squad, the area over a few years is far too good to be true when we're against the establishment fighting against it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I think we will. Its obvious the big 6 and BEIN stuck their nose in, which means somewhere along the line the PL didn't do things by the book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you aren't, then where is the harm in thinking positive at this point? Edited July 13, 2021 by Wandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
