Rogue Baboon 0 Posted November 24, 2016 Just put of curiosity, which clubs over the last 2 or 3 years have had owners put money in year on yer?Isnt FFP supposed to be cracking down on clubs who are relying on their owners to bankroll them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted November 24, 2016 [quote user="Big Vince"][quote user="Diane"]Also had a chat with Tom and like Nutty I was impressed, really nice young man, passionate about the club and eager for the fans to get to know him better.He will hopefully be at our fans social club quiz in Feb so a chance for people to meet him[/quote]This is complete and utter drivel and plays right into the Board''s hands.If the boy Smith is being touted as the next owner of the club then the main criterion required is money to put into the club year on year, not whether he is a very nice young man.Supporters get club they deserve springs to mind.[/quote]For that to be true would it follow that non-supporters don''t get the club they deserve[:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted November 24, 2016 I think some of our supporters get a much better club than the one they deserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted November 24, 2016 Who knows? But look at the team that won the league - they hardly had a team full of players that cost 20/30/40mil. Each player in that team we could have afforded when Leicester brought them.Villa & Wolves - they had an owner that wanted rid of the club. Somebody has to buy it. Doesn''t mean they can just pump an unlimited amount of money in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really think Chelsea and Man C would be doing what they are doing unless they were bankrolled? Man C were League 1 not that long ago and Chelsea under Bates were no better than Norwich.

Bagster 101 Posted November 24, 2016 Yeah Vince that is all true but there have been just as many complete disasters.Actually not too keen on billionaires self centred self serving ....... On the whole.Look at portsmouth and Reading very nearly went the same way. There are lots like this in England now.Delia might not be the richest and most successful but you know she isn''t going to bend the club over and shaft it hard.If they didnt have a plan I woudnt be happy but they do and its about the youth and to be honest I am very happy about that.
