That argument is then slaughtered by the prospect of him not properly running this club

ie investment into the team, future ventures etc

You don't enter into a football club looking to make money, so if he could match the asking price at the first hurdle, what's to say he wouldn't have after ownership

From there I'm more worried he'd get a club for nothing and then asset strip it
