This. Sheer stupidity.
Come up with someone. anyone that would want to take on a club that loses £10millions year after year.
You can't. Ever. Because they arent there.
The leagues are littered with fly by night owner disasters that come in and destroy clubs
Give me Gibson any and every day of the week.
I'll say it again. We are a mid-table Championship Club that loses money year after year to stay there.
No harm in dreaming that we can do a Brentford, and we sort of did for a time.
But if you want Soverign Wealth funds and £50m+ signings pop up the road and leave us to the reality of where we are.
I struggle to deal with your seeming ignorance.
I have been saying for years now that we are stuck with each other.
There is no investor who will take on, let alone pay the fool for what HE has done.
We CAN"T move on from him, he can only move on from us.
And he won't.
I have no doubt he thinks in his own little world that he is the ONLY person who could possibly lead the club. Only he has the knowledge and experience to do so, and that he cares more than anybody else; is Mr Middlesbrough.
Well, the position the club is in means there is no alternative.
The following outcomes are what could happen re ownership:
1. He finds somebody else who will take the club on. In order to do so he will have to write off the vast majority of what his Company have guaranteed. He won't do that because he will then have actually put in the money the club has lost since 2006.
2. He converts the £120m plus debt into equity, as he did in 2012, 2014 and 2016 - to the tune of £63m. He won't do this as he HAS then put that £120m in, nothing much he can do to get it back. With loans he always has options, largely hypothetical, but important to his Group.
3. The Group refuses to continue guaranteeing the losses made outside the PL, which means the club would fold, he would lose most of the loans and get nothing for his equity. As important to him is that he would become a hated figure for ending the club.
4. He finds somebody of stellar wealth who sees MFC as a PL mainstay and regards £200m as chickenfeed to get hold of the club and drive it. This is extremely unlikely given we are not the only option they would have by a long way.
We are stuck with him and his barmy decision making (well intentioned or not).
And he is stuck with us.
As a side issue, are you really stating that Brentford is a club beyond us?
If so then you have completely lost the plot.
Bolton are one of a number of badly run clubs who have paid for their appalling leadership.
Brighton are one of a number who have prospered because of their leadership.
