the trouble with your view
is that there is no real downside.
You are already deeply unhappy with the club and its ownership and so any real downturn (a la Blackburn, Portsmouth, Leeds, Charlton) is unlikely to make this worse. You can shrug your shoulders and say at least we gave it a go.
You don't (as far as I am aware, but happy to be corrected) attend City matches. And, believe me, watching a losing side in the flesh is much, much worse than just listening to Final Score.
And if 'we' are not allowed to ram down your throat the failings of outside investment then you, equally, have no right to keep insisting that regime change will lead to an improvement. That is, also, bollocks

- Lots of good points. It’s a complicated debate. (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Jan 21, 14:10:26
- Interesting to see who owns who and how. Also, we may possibly be richer than Burton. (NCFC) - shortfatb, Jan 21, 13:24:37
- Well... if you want new investment then... (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 21, 12:56:22

- That’s valid. I think we must all be in agreement on that (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 12:59:35
