I listened to the McNally podcast. I admit I might have

missed something but was dumbfounded by the lack of discussion about outside investment. I know those two words raise the hackles of some supporters but think it's the only way for the club to even have a fighting chance to compete in the Premier league. And it doesn't have to be a dump Delia in the process. McNally gets a lot of praise for his financial abilities but I think his primary responsibility should be finding a way to bring in outside money while also keeping Delia involved. That would indeed merit his bonus.
