splendidrush 700 Posted March 23 If it all pans out for them, they'll just become another mid table mediocre Premiership side who won't be able to compete at the top level, every Club has a ceiling. If it all goes wrong, see Portsmouth, Blackburn, Swansea, Stoke and Reading who all had extended spells in the Premiership, couldn't compete financially and were relegated.... ..... if you think the last administration was detrimental, this time it would be devastating..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueHope76 70 Posted March 23 4 hours ago, Mr.Carrow said: Gunn, Sara, Sainz, Rowe and Sargent (and possibly Nunez) are worth well north of thatmythical "investment" and we have 15+ very highly rated youngsters coming through, plus a state of the art training ground (already paid for) to attract and keep more. Yeah, you're riding a wave at the moment but as a club, you are still way behind. I'm a blue and would have to agree with you here. We have made great strides on the pitch but in terms of the infrastructure of the club we are still several years behind you. Of course we can't fix this overnight after years of neglect under Evans and the club seem to be moving as quickly as they can to address the issues. Whether this new this 'investment' is good, bad or neutral remains to be seen but so far the ownership have done exactly what they said they were going to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Within months you were in administration not just s****** on local businesses but not even bothering to pay the Red Cross, proving you really are s***. we even had to pay their debt to stop the pieman going out of buisiness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Flash 13 Posted March 23 Interesting quote from a Financial Times piece - "Take private equity, where investors commit their cash for up to a decade in unsaleable investments". Hmmm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They clearly have some very astute businessmen over there doing a sterling job. Rather than our own global business experts on here trying to pick holes we should be hoping we can het similar investment and management try build a similarly glorious history. We come across as a bit envious, desperate and sour. It's a shame, we're better than this. This is just so lame and obvious. It's laughable.

The difference between this sort of thoughtful response and the pathetic, wouldn't-fool-a-child trolling of the other ITFC fan on this thread is night and day.

Out to make a quick profit at minimal outlay and then **** off to the next project. That's how private equity firms work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
