Bubbles Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Interesting, key word there investment. Pretty sure Gillette and co. wanted to take over the club? Hopefully that rules them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that rules them out... Chris Coles said similar on the podcast a couple of days ago. Investment not takeover. FWIW, he also said that the Sun/Nixon's £50m takeover story was nonsense. No surprise there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bin that lot off first and invest a few mil on a better more extensive network. Or bung claire ince a couple of euro plane tickets....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Good news this, mels obviously been looking for this for a while and I’m sure it’s taken longer than he would’ve hoped (I’m sure he would’ve appreciated some help in the summer window!) Be good to have something sorted for the rest of the season and know where we stand, the completion of this may finally help us get our embarrassing recruitment team sorted as well! Let’s just hope that whoever they are have a load of money, some idea of how to spend it and stay within ffp, and are respectable. Difficult to find combo!

Just because there are new investors doesn't mean they choose which players to buy. It will be channelled through the same recruitment team as now unless they have a majority stake and then change. As I've said above, we spend up to the limit (at least...) of ffp every year. So new investors won't help us spend any more than we have been Our problem isn't lack of investment. It's been very, very poor (albeit well intentioned) investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Let’s spend the millions on big names. Worked well 4 years ago didn’t it? Who’d be a Football Club owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem wasn’t the money, it was the turnover of managers that came in with different philosophy’s. Doesn’t matter what type of owner you are, but if you continue to change direction every year and dont get the foundations right, chances are, you are going to fail.

Problem was signing loads of players that from the outside looked quality signings but no consideration was made as to where they’d fit in our system.

Papahet Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Seems strange it’s close and there’s no names being mentioned. I hope it’s someone who knows the game, with abit of wealth to go with it. We need a plan to get out this league and to stick to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffp limits investment that can be made Depends on how it's used, say they buy a share in the stadium, that's classed as income so can be spent. It may be a massive sponsership deal, who knows.
