The Unsullied 0 Posted January 4, 2017 Seem to have no trouble what so ever in attracting investorsReally is a disgrace that the Stowmarket duo are holding back the club by a) not investing in it properly themselves b) seeking suitable alternative investment which is clearly in abundance How much longer do we have to suffer their regressive ownership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted January 4, 2017 whats the point of additional investment when we have a regressive recruitment team and ill advised spending?This most expensively built squad is proof that cash alone is not enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted January 4, 2017 Probably bought it for a song with Cellino facing another ban. For those who want ANY foreign investor just as long as they are rich would do well to look at Cellino''s record at Leeds.......leeds-united/massimo-cellino-timeline-the-ups-and-downs-of-leeds-united-s-controversial-owner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,220 Posted January 4, 2017 Just proves that these rich benefactors are out there and Leeds are already better than us. It''s clear that it''s not that we can''t attract them but that we won''t entertain them. Someone should make Delia divulge EVERY approach that she''s knocked back.

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted January 4, 2017 Think you will probably find that the buyer at Leeds is a distant cousin or something of Cellino, if only the FA had a way of measuring if a person was fit to own a football club........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donkey dangler 0 Posted January 4, 2017 As I pointed out some time ago, Preston are a well run club in terms of their operational costs (not including player wage s or transfers) after adjusting for the size of gates and that they do not have Delia''s non match day catering.Enjoy!

Horse Renoir 1 Posted January 4, 2017 For the sake of balance. Look at how the familial succession approach has worked at Wigan and BlackpoolI can''t seem to find any actual success stories with this approach either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh 0 Posted January 4, 2017 I guess, one day, if we are really lucky, we might get an owner as good as Cellino I honestly don''t mind Delia bashing but find a better example, the guy clearly has a personality disorder or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pace of change in the game - particularly at the top level - means the amounts of cash the likes of Jack Walker or Delia have is now small fry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
