Gary Thomas Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Around 80 days to sort an owner, appoint a new manager, clear out the rubbish, bring in players and build a team for the championship. Really hope they will announce something very soon, now the seasons finished, and a new manager is waiting in the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 This takeover better happen pretty soon or we'll be starting next season on the back foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 We're almost totally **** IMO. By the start of next season we need a new owner, a new manager, new backroom staff and we need to get rid of close to 10 players and replace them. We need a Man City style take over, i.e. with in a blink of an eye they were bought and virtually within 2 weeks rolling out new signings left right and centre. That's what we need to happen otherwise we won't get promoted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more to do with the size of the task in front of us. It all seems unrealistic to expect to start next season with a new owner, new manager and virtually a new first team good enough to get us promoted automatically.

VillaChris Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Does the club get closed down if we don't go up first time Doc? I'd like to think these new owners would have a long term plan rather than just quick fixes so if we don't go up straight away so be it. Financially we'd be one of the richest in the division so we'd make it up eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it's an absolutely disgrace if we don't come back up straight away and the longer we are down there the harder it will be to come up.

I mean 20th place next season gets £99 million which is pretty much what the winner of the League would have gotten a year or two ago, you only have to be in the league a few seasons to be spending Top 4 level money as a shit tier team. So the longer we spend out of the league the harder it will be to topple whoever is the 17th best team not without some very very crafty ways around FFP. So yeah the long term plan may include contingencies in case we don't come right back up, but the plan will be promotion next-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Leicester didn't have any premier league money for a good 10 years. While we're away premier league teams will continue to blow big money on rubbish players, as I've said many times there's only so many good players to go around. If we come up we'll have a team used to winning and hopefully some decent young players who can make their mark in premier league in a more confident environment. I wouldn't worry about it, let's just get some decent owners in, rebuild and get up sooner rather than later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel the sale will be sooner, rather than later. If anything we have heard is true then the wheels are in motion and anyone investing in a football club will be aware of the time scales.
