Agreed, it is a change in ownership rather than manager that we should be worries about in terms of a change in our fortunes. Swansea is the precedent for this.

To me can base is not a great measure either as the size of fan bases changes with success. I agree with your points and see them as further evidence that the big/small club thing is a nonsense. Football is about on field success and should be measured so.
