Massive over reaction from the OP.
Aye but we don’t have a great theme song like Hull do “You’re getting mauled by the tigers”Hull City got bought , I don't see why the Boro would be different.
Come on man without Gibson we would have been screwed long ago - and i say that as one of his biggest critics. There’s been a slight increase yes but the clubs running costs also increase and we want to challenge for promotion don’t we. Stick with it because I'm almost certain we are going to make a big push this summer with some good signings coming in.Where is your ambition and what's your long term goal for the club?
Them ticket prices are ridiculous for season ticket holders and those who buy match day tickets, where is this money going because it is clearly not going back into the first team and if it is, its the cheapest option possible, it's not good enough!!
Selling our better players and not backing Michael Carrick when he clearly needs it, we have brought in enough money in transfers over the past couple of season's to mount a serious push for the Premier league and now we are awaiting bids for Hackney and RVDB who will be sold at the first sign of interest.
If you can't afford to run the club then sell up and go at least give Middlesbrough fc the chance to move forward because at this stage with no clear intention of what you want going forward this club will end up back where you bought it from.
I await the "who will buy Middlesbrough fc" comments
There will be those out there who will take a chance at this great club and if Steve is as wise as some make him out to be then he will sell to the appropriate buyer!!
UTB!!
We’ve been given that impression for the last few summers and we’re still waiting.I'm almost certain we are going to make a big push this summer with some good signings coming in.
The club loses money continuously, it is not a profitable business as things stand, the club also has to balance things with FFP - we are now in quite a good position to be able to spend without breaking FFP rules having lowered our wage bill and benefitted from some useful sales as you’ve pointed out.We’ve been given that impression for the last few summers and we’re still waiting.
Akpom millions not reinvested.
Spence millions not reinvested.
Tav millions not reinvested.
SG supporters will counter with covid/increase in running costs. Conveniently forgetting that this cuts both ways. Fans have had to endure the financial uncertainty of covid. Had to pay more for their utilities.
The club passing this onto the fans in the manner they have is nothing short of a scandal.
Timing is suspect ... ST promotion?

Give your head a wobble. Mr Gibson was certainly not the only man to save us 38 years ago, we have Messrs Fordy, Moskowicz and Henderson to thank too. But I do not for one minute call into question the resolve of Gibson to produce a footballing side which has the love, trust and pride of the people of Middlesbrough and the surrounding areas. Gibson's continual investment in the club at a continual loss foregrounds that to me.Where is your ambition and what's your long term goal for the club?

Barnsley don't have billionaire owners. The wealth of those investing (Chinese-American investors who inflated their own net worth) was greatly exaggerated and that's precisely the reason their previous takeover is currently under investigation by the EFL.The fact that barnsley have got billionaire owners yes F***ing barnsley means of course we could get investment and theres plenty other unfashionable clubs who have as well
