With the Geordies being bought out .. another English team gone to foriegn owners .. it got me thinking about Boro.
Steve Gibson can't go on forever .. at some point retirement or worse will come to pass .. and the club will need a new guiding hand ..
Do we know if there are any provisions in place for when that time comes? A naturally groomed successor? Or do we think SG will look to get the best deal possible for the club from outside at some point?
It's becoming obvious that sooner or later your place within the Premier League will be decided by which Billionaire owns your club .. that will have a knock on to the Championship due to relegation and to outside investors who, dazzled by the bright lights of the Premier League, will look to pick up a bargain in the Championship and chase the riches (as is slowly happening already) on offer.
What is the future for Boro .. either with SG still at the helm or beyond that? Like it it not - if we want success do we NEED a bigger Sugar Daddy / Investment fund to give us that? Or .. will we (and will we be happy) to drift out of the limelight due to not being unable to compete?
