If they'd have said I wouldn't have just spent £5.36 on lunch, I could have been an investor.Bloody hell Badger, I know you've some catching up to do but what the hell did you get for your £5.36 or are you on Ready Steady Cook this evening?
Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious, nor can any be replaced. |

as per usual City find themselves between a rock and a hard place. We need outside investment but without the ground the money men are not going to be interested. Now, while this keeps us safe from all the financial nasties out there it also means that investors will steer clear of us and look at more attractive options - ie clubs that own their own grounds.I disagree. I think you can divide investors into three groups. There are the fans who suddenly have more money than sense. Jack Walker being the prime example. They will only ever invest in the club they have always supported and whether it owns its own ground makes no difference. Then there are the billionaires who want a new toy, Chelsea being the obvious along with Hearts and Postsmouth, again the ground makes little difference (have you seen Fratton Park). They tend to want complete control and so only buy clubs where the existing shareholders are so desperate they are prepared to sup with the devil.. Last are the investors who are in it make money. Some of them might see an opportunity to make a profit on the property but its just as likely they are interested in the potential for marketing in the far east or TV rights. Whether the last set invest in City, or another club, depends on the price the existing shareholders demand and the opportunity to make money out of City in the future. My guess is that the existing shareholders, partly because they are fans, think the club is wrth more than than any potential new investors are prepared to pay. If we outright owned the property that would make little difference...... |

£2 of that was a copy of Kerrang.How did it taste? Rather metallic. I'll get my goat.
