Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted May 26, 2013 I am not even sure I would want one anymore. Unless you are talking Man City style investment, it doesn''t seem to make a great deal of difference to league position. It won''t stop the big clubs nicking anyone who looks top quality.

Salopian 1 Posted May 26, 2013 If he''s going to run the club like an autocrat, deny funds or expect a large dividend, I would prefer to carry on with Celia. She is a local, kept the club going, and supported the team through thick and thin. It would be a major mistake to eject her now we get near to bit time. If she has investigated the Ruski, is happy with his plans and wants to bow out, that''s a different matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,135 Posted May 26, 2013 Celia? Some typos on this forum can be very amusing and are the only time I don''t regret the lack of an edit facility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orford65 0 Posted May 26, 2013 Have we learned nothing from the disaster zones created at previously well run clubs when the wealthy foreign investors with a desire to play at Fifa 13 with real players decide to get involved.The money might be nice, but the potential for a monumental destruction of our football club is all too obvious.I''m perfectly happy with the status quo thanks. Leave it all to McNasty to keep us on the right road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opinions? ;)[/quote]It depends how he''s made his money, for one thing. If it''s oil or gas or weapons, or kryptonite, say, then I''m out. If it''s commission payments from a financial services aggregator site then I''m prone to looking at it more favourably. Would there be a free cuddly toy in NCFC kit for each person taking out a Season Ticket? That would swing it for me. I mean, I''m hugely proud of what Delia and MWJ have achieved and I am grateful for their financial input over the past few years, apart from 2005-2010 when I thought they were a two-headed minion of Satan, tighter than a gnat''s chuff and one glass of vino away from The Priory. The beauty of message boards is I will never have to say sorry for that opinion, so don''t even try me. All I''ll say is I''ve been consistently right on this all along and yes, if Mr. Orlov wants to buy the majority shareholding, pump billions into the club and sign marquee players like Arshavin, gimme gimme gimme.

Budapest Canary 152 Posted May 26, 2013 No for me. He''d probably ruin what is great about this club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budapest Canary 152 Posted May 27, 2013 Some of the things I admire about this club is achieving things on its own terms, by good management, player development, motivation, etc. City is earning its way to success rather than buying its way into it. It may sound strange from me, (as I''m not even British), but having a local owner, who is a genuine fan, is something less and less clubs can "afford", and definitely something to be proud of. The example of QPR shows how money in itself is no guarantee for good/successful football, while Norwich is one of the best examples for success by proper management. If it ain''t broke don''t fix it. Simple as. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
