As opposed to being owned by a fellow fan

If someone is genuinely 'investing' at some point they'll want to pull their money out.

If any of y'all can outline the path by which we gain enough value to attract a billionaire to pump money into the club and leave us in a position where they can palm us off on an even richer owner it'd be really fascinating.

To your Leicester I offer 20-30 clubs below us in the champs and league one.

I think it's disgraceful that you'd choose to abuse our owners rather than look at the bone deep issues with the football league setup (exhibit A - the delayed, but still coming ESL)
