Can't disagree with any of that

It's just like any other acquisition isn't it - put money in with the aim of taking more out. It doesn't seem to work very often because fundamentally only a handful of clubs can win the premier league, so there's a ceiling on what that return looks like. I'm still interested as to how things will develop with our neighbours in Suffolk if/when they go up, and how long their investors support them, before taking their returns and leaving them to the next set.
