D&M have not found investment in more than a decade and I don''t expect them to start now, in League One.Their manner at the press conference - when money was mentioned they scoffed - suggests their isn''t much new cash on the way. They talk was of cut-backs, in fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted June 14, 2009 .Since Big Dog has raised the question of the new directors, some verygeneral thoughts on how to assess what it all means when they areannounced.1. If they are only (as is probable) minorityinvestors some fans will (illogically) pounce on that to claim itproves Smith and Jones do not intend to sell. But attracting minorityinvestment does not run counter to the aim of majority investment. Andif the club cannot get the latter (for now) then the former will do.2.The norm is have an odd (no jokes, please) number of directors. We hadfive. If the new arrivals take the total to an even number (threemaking six) that might be a sign that McNally (who was a director atFulham) will be joining the board pretty soon as well. In addition, thegreater the number of newcomers, the likelier the chances of a changeof direction.3. We have no chairman. If one of the current gangof three gets the gig that might also suggest continuity. A newcomermight indicate change.4. Will one be a director of football? That WOULD be interesting, giventhe question mark over Gunn''s suitability. Rioch springs to mind.5. From where and from what background? The Norfolk-only condition fora buyer was dropped months ago, but a guess would be that at least onewill be from the local business community. And if they all are, again,that would not suggest radical change. But if there is a Cityheavy-hitter in there that would be significant.6. Back to investment. Assuming there is some. Is it a one-off gift orwill there be a promise of continued investment? The latter ispreferable. Will the investment be enough to tide the club over for,say, a couple of years until the economic climate improves? Despitewhat some fans think, there are not queues of potential buyers outthere at the moment. The last time I looked Southampton was stillunbought.7. Will there be among the newcomers a potential owner? The keycriterion is the ability to keep smiling while pouring millions ofpounds down a drain. Will one of the intake look just stupid enough forthat?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
