The problem with that is she isn't safeguarding it

One of the first digital cameras was invented by a kodak employee in the 80s (?). Their execs locked the idea away because they didn't want to cannibalise film sales. They were safeguarding their business...

Where is kodak today?

That'll be us if we don't embrace the modern world. Now there's a perfectly valid argument to make that as long as thd club exists and is solvent then maybe it doesn't really matter if we're not in the Prem or Championship (or L1) but I'm not sure letting a club slip away into obscurity is really safeguarding an asset.

Maybe her nephew will be more amenable to selling, and can get around the shackles she says she will put on him.
