Completely agree...

I’m actually looking to expand my investment portfolio at the moment so the timing is interesting for me.

We aren’t even getting any clarification on how much the board are investing in this. Why? I think people would be more willing if there was more transparency.

Whether people want to believe it or not, the club needs new owners. The fantasy of becoming a ‘self funded, established premier league club’ with a team of academy players is delusional.
