    We have money to spend earned from gate receipts, TV cash, competition on the pitch. The cash doesn't come from some bloke tossing it over a wall in a blood stained bag. The fans want the money the pay to go into the team. Nothing unreasonable with that at all and all in the spirit of competition.

    You constantly go on about the board and needing them out as they're the problem, but when the opportunity arises you don't want it to happen. If anyone buys the club they'll have to be minted and in all likelyness will want to invest in it.

    We've got a rich guy, he just wants his share of the profit....we either live with that or with someone who pumps money in, don't think there's another option.

    Big difference between Kroenke and an owner who will reinvest the profits and gives a shit about what goes on on the pitch. Even bigger difference compared to a bunch of thieves from a shit hole. We could be far more competitive if our present board would focus on football. No need at all to sell out to crooks. Only bad could come of that long term and I'm guessing no fan wants bad things for the club.

    We've already seen the current board aren't going to re-invest what we get, so that leaves the option of someone buying in which realistically will be someone loaded who will probably want to put his stamp on the club and make them successful.

    that option is always there but it is becoming more and more wishful thinking.

    more likely someone has seen the blueprint created by this current lot, will buy in hoping to keep on doing the same thing before they fuck off and hand it to someone else.

    there is no reason in the world to ever trust a billionaire owner will have the best intentions for anyone bar himself. we're fucked. stuck in the playground of richmen to kick us around until the walls cave in on the game.
