lexicon Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 A big no to American investors from me - very few success stories of them and football teams in Europe. They're generally in it for the profit rather than the prestige or love of the game and this is not a profitable industry in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if we could find one this time after having thought we had with our last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted July 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2018 I still can't find how much that onemain sale was worth. I'd imagine itìs added a bit to the $100m. We really need to get sold quick, then hope whoever buys us gets lucky appointing the right board. We need a project like Wolves, Southampton, Fulham etc. put together to get out of our position. Another clueless board and bad managerial appointments and we're deeper in the poo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I just want somebody who is a part of the club. Here everyday, in the stands for the matches, just.. involved. Not in another country half the time leaving the running to others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree, although after some turbulent first years both Man U and Liverpool are doing quite well. Especially pool seem to have their house in order at the moment.

Personal net worth is 2.1 Billion. Not too shabby. EDIT: Saw this on Facebook, please digest with salt. Zhang Fan Wasn't he in Kessen and Dynasty Warriors?

Tommo_b Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Say we got taken over by a trillionaire, would that change our situation drastically? Or are our hands still tied by FFP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFP would still be a challenge with regards to investing in the playing staff but the non playing side is not covered by FFp so a billionaire could do a lot of investment and cover some costs etc. without falling foul of FFP.

Whilst gazillions of dosh wouldn’t be too terrible, what we really need is an owner with a brain. If we were well run and with the right people on board, I think some elements of ffp can be negated. Don’t tell me PSG are making the money they’re spending entirely through football. Same goes for Citeh and Chelski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
