One paragraph about us and totally innacurate information.  Delia/MJW bought their shares in 1997, not 2003  and Stephen Fry is no longer on the board. 

[SwindonCanary 455]

It''s interesting to note the money behind a lot of these clubs, at least we have an owner who will not sell us down the river.

[king canary 7,603]

Yes, God it would be awful if we had a dodgy foreign owner who would say...sign the club over to an entirely unqualified family member.

[Dean Coneys boots 1,400]

Doesnt really tell you much. Because how much the owner has is irrelevant - only how much they choose to invest matters. In which case the person who has 10 million and offers 1 is better than the guy with lots of millions and offers nothing. Marcus Evans cough, cough.

That extra holding will make all the difference I''m sureUnfortunately running a ''business'' is not simply a matter of holding a wafer thin majority of shares.If you imagine that the other 46% would happily sit by and accept anything then you are as deluded as bin canary - though perhaps not acting with the same intent,

[king canary 7,603]

*sigh*

Yes of course the only possible reason you wouldn''t want them to put their nephew in charge is being an Ipswich fan. Of course.

[Bill 1,788]

No, the only reason you would want to criticize that move is because you wish to attack the club, Delia, Wyn etcSomething that pretty much always emanates from those down the A140

[king canary 7,603]

The only reason?

You honestly think that is the only possible reason someone could have for not thinking it''s the best move?

[Bill 1,788]

I would actually welcome being corrected more oftenBut simply posting up anti club attacks then continuing with them after a rebuttal, is hardly a correction

ps orf arht, back soon do play nicely

[king canary 7,603]

Except you didn''t ''rebutt'' anything. You just called me a binner.

Wrong presumption.

In this day and age you cannot sit on a football club board unless you have a lot of money.

End of.

[king canary 7,603]

Or maybe it would be to make a name for yourself in some other field and have some money to invest into the club.

I just wonder what fans reaction would be if one of the much derided foreign owners in the league had declared they were putting their nephew, with zero relevant experience on charge. I imagine it would be laughed at and held as an example of the dangers of foreign ownership.

Yes, but he''s not in charge at the minute, he''s learning the job.

Didn''t that happen at Leicester, but with a son rather than a nephew? And they went on to win the Premiership.

Rubbish.  Anyone can sit on a board.  Money is not the main criteria.
