None of us have any idea really. In the past he's commented on how the Time Rich List doesn't have any idea what people have outside of the country. All we really know is the he's spent over £150m on us (ground, training, recent losses etc), and that he doesn't seem to have a problem with that...
Firstly, you have no idea how much money he has do you. You also believe that for a small club like ours to become an established top flight club, you need to lose money on an ongoing basis (and I'm not necessarily disagreeing) - that means that we wouldn't want an investor (someone expecting to...
It's not sentiment, it's based on fact. We're spending less than clubs like Reading, Forest, Leicester, QPR, Cardiff, Blackburn etc. Our owner has also proved that he'd want to be our owner whether we're in League 2 or the Premier League. And unlike Madejski, it's also quite clear that he's not...
What a load of nonsense. If you look at the money we're spending and who the owner is (connection to the club, age, wealth) we're a lot less likely to be in that position than many other clubs.
The parallel is that we're well run, and they used to be well run. That's not a parallel I mind.
At which point we say we'd like to keep going as we are please, and not push on under a new owner.
It would make me more inclined to support Derby. I like to see clubs do it the right way, not like Cardiff, Leicester, QPR, Forrest etc. But I still wouldn't want them to go under completely. And I'm sure they won't. Seeing them fall as far down the leagues as possible will do fine.
But the whole point on the article was how it went wrong. How the downfall was caused by selling to a foreign owner that has no interest in Reading, or any club below the premier league. Since that hasn't currently happened to us, the article doesn't apply to us at all. Hopefully Tony will be...
Indeed.
I wouldn't want any club to disappear altogether, but it's nice seeing the likes of Pompey suffer a bit.
It's teams like Leicester that piss me off the most. Into admin, write off the debt that gave them their ground, then go on a spending spree.
