The immediate future would not be any different. But what are you saying exactly? That if we get a new owner they wouldn't: Invest in the academy Update and upgrade the stadium Improve the shop Improve catering Adjust ticket pricing Create a more positive environment amongst fans Invest in the training ground Have a more positive outlook regarding bringing younger players through that we can develop and selll at massive profit etc Create ties and bonds with local businesses Attract new sponsors Get the executive box issues sorted out and the boxes sold again I could go on - the list is lonnnnnng 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true But I bet that prisoners of war in Japan in the second world war didn't sit there thinking 'well we might as well just shut up and sit down because if we made it here and got back to England it might be worse' whilst a load of others kept running round shouting 'CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR' at those longing for better days and an end to their life as a POW Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you could apply that to other posts in this thread such as "it's only going to get worse from here" etc. "If we get a new owner things could be great" without suggesting how thats going to happen without answering the realistic questions posed by Buxtongent is pie in the sky.
