    What concerns me about CK getting his money from crypto, is that his main business success is down to a lucky punt on crypto.
    MM's wealth was based on a lucky break and he has since shown to be less than astute in the running of the club.
    At least the likes of MA and AA are business men with a long proven successful track record.
    If I'd won the £184M on the lottery, I would have bought the club, but probably wouldn't have run it properly.

    Hot take here, but I think it’s easy to conflate spectacular goals with spectacular performances. Wilson is incredibly gifted in striking a ball, but average in many other regards and would often drift in and out of games. The spectacular players were Tomori and Mount, without whom we would’ve struggled to finish in the top half.

    Somewhat happy for forest to be honest. They've been through a lot in the last decade. They're up, we're down. It's all swings and roundabouts. It'll be the other way round soon enough

    Celebrity boxing match B4 vs Mel live at Pride Park. That would help raise some capital

    That was on my 32nd birthday and we went to the pub at lunch after. I was gutted but felt so optimistic about the club and where we were going. If we could just keep those players together and get Thorne signed we'd be onto something special. How little i knew of what was to come. The last 8 years have been an absolute travesty.
    The work that was done by Clough and McLaren was completely obliterated. 3rd division team, no stadium, no players. 
    Travesty.

    We were a sustainable club too, living within our means, building a competition team and turning a profit.

    Just one example of the damage one man has caused to this club. 
    8 years ago we were demolishing BHA in a play off semi final.
    We headed en masse to Wembley, hoping to gorge on the Premier League riches. 
    Then the man with the reverse midas touch threw his hat in the ring, and look where it's led us. 
    We've been relegated to Division 3, we don't own anything other than 5 contracted players, and if Rooney is to be believed we're in the most critical 24 hours of our clubs history, with no guarantees of survival.
    Meanwhile, on Sky Sports, Brighton are finishing off their 5th consecutive season in the top flight with a humbling of Man Utd!
    It's hard to imagine a starker contrast in the two clubs fortunes, and it's down to one person alone.

    Id rather look at it as we have overperformed at Pride Park and Rooney has pulled off an incredible points return at home considering the lack of quality in the squad.

    Sounds like an absolute plum to be to be honest. 

    Even if we were to put it down to "it was a different time" (it wasn't), his response has been pathetic and doesn't suggest he's someone with smart people around him. Doesn't bode great.

    Obviously not. But he comes across as others have said as Alonso MkII
    Wonder how Rooney/players would take the "-15 points coming off this season" after fighting so hard to stay up?

    His old tweets disappoint me no end. Not just dodgy but horrid.
    Song lyrics or movie quotes - put them in context and I'll believe him. Things are often taken out of context and I'm still willing to back him but a little more cautious since the excitement and hope of this morning.

    I'm pleased things seem to be making progress regarding buying the club but why oh why, after all the bad press we have had do we have to end up with this guy? 
    I don't like his tweets, old or not, and I don't like his response when he failed with his bid previously. It won't stop me supporting the club as always but blimey, do we ever get a break!!
