Even with our points deduction we are looking competitive. Bielik back soon. Add a striker to this squad and we could be very competitve and also not leaking money. Brentford already proved it's possible to run a sustainable club and succeed. Kathcairns and Hector was the best 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his letter had a crude drawing of a rooster and balls with an arrow pointing at it saying ‘This is Steve Gibson this is’ then I might have been convinced. As it stands, not for me. I read that ‘both’ as referring to the two administrators, rather than ‘the EFL and the administrators’. He goes on to talk about the EFL’s aims in the next sentence.

Point taken, i was going off Mel claiming he was still underwriting £1.5m a month (i think it was) after cutting things back a long way. GSE were losing something like £7m a year during the nigel years. You're right we're probably a lot more reasonable now (weird for a club in administration, eh?) than we were at peak Mel.

So that's us with 20 pesos in the bank and the corpse of Diego Maradona on the bench in the January transfer window.... ? Is this step 1 of a really cunning plan to regain the Falklands then?

Yes I think that is what he said. Guess we also need to factor in that he was not paying the PAYE bill which would appear to be somewhere around £1.5m a month.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Doesn’t matter if he’s not a billionaire when he’s not claiming to be. I just hope he’s not an idiot. Comrade 86, OUTSIDER, EtoileSportiveDeDerby and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Having a billionaire owner won't automatically make everyone happy, otherwise Mike Ashley wouldn't have been drummed out of Newcastle and Arsenal fans wouldn't be unhappy with Stan Kroenke. For now, we just need someone with the funds to buy the club and the integrity and know-how to run it properly on at least a break-even basis. If they have the money to fund losses within ffp limits and invest in infrastructure too, that'd be a bonus. angieram, Ramarena, Kathcairns and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m aware he did a mini Q &A on Twitter and basically confirmed the following: A) he’s not a billionaire b) the administrators required evidence £100 m in business c) will be at Blackburn game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I just want a football club that has a chance of staying in the Championship this season and not facing the prospect of selling Bird etc. in January. If not, being run sensibly in League 1 and retaining as much of our young talent as possible. Anything else I would class as massively greedy considering the position we are in. Couldn't give a duck if he has billions or just enough for us to operate sustainably. His attitude to the future of our club is more important.

RamLad1884 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Billionaire owner is only really a big thing in the prem and they have much more freedom to spend their money. Can't think of the last championship club to get a billionaire owner and storm the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that list does is prove that having a billionaire in the Championship is less important than being run well. Clubs with the richer owners don't tend to spend more or do any better.
