If they named assistants it wouldn't seem so bare but there is still plenty of scope for improvement.

That's a much more realistic list than wiki's info. 

Bit disappointed they didn't name the Head of Facilities personally though, he might well be a rich carpenter but I'm sure he has a name.

not sure why anyone thinks they can run a football club for profit in this day and age

17 of the 20 Premier League clubs in 2014/15 (the latest figures available) were profitable.  Only QPR, Chelsea and... Aston Villa made a loss.

But that's often due to the financial structuring. Manciteh for instance, managed to circumvent any sort of financial "healchchecks" by obtaining favourable sponsorship deals not open or available else elsewhere.

Can't see why this is anything to be concerned about ?  Its either BS or its true, if true, wha'ts wrong with that ?

We all know in this Age whoever buys us its a risk, whoever buys us could/will go further towards stealing our soul...but surely we want someone who wants to make a profit rather than a loss !!

There's a lot of real estate connected to and near to our Club -  sooner or later that whole area is going to get regenerated, the Chinese have peered in before, and they are all over the place in this and other countries, but of course profit is a key part of it all.  It doesn't HAVE to mean asset stripping or some of the other shenanigans we've seen.

And lets face it, we have all complained that Lerner is an arse for NOT being able to turn a profit.

I think its further good news.

Sunderland made a loss as well, £20m+.

The model of the Premiership seems to be around 5 or 6 really powerful clubs have brands and success that make them money. FFP pulled the ladder up so no-one else could join them.

The rest of the clubs almost bankrupt themselves trying to get into the elite and Champion's League football, whilst players rape clubs of finance with agents fees, signing on fees and wages that are unsustainable unless you are in Europe,

Every player thinks they should be/entitled to be playing in Europe and earning 50-200K a week no matter how talented they are (see Bacuna). 

The Premiership want the status quo maintained as they want to sell the product worldwide on the strength of the elite.

When teams like Leicester and Blackburn win it ruins the brand. 

Sky love their big boys win script every weekend, the biased pundits only want to shit on about glory/titles and history, they have no interest in anyone outside the elite winning.

We are becoming the same as American Basketball and American Football.

No loyalty, no honour, just pure selfishness, ego and money.

Just been on twitter it's f@@king hilarious. The misery from some people. Any news that means we take a step closer from getting out from under one of the worst owners possible is good news. We have just been relegated and are facing another relegation under this clown. I don't care if they are an investment group. I don't think an investment group from China want us in league 1 or 2 and believe me that is straight where we are heading under the shrivelled ball sack that is Randy Lerner.
