If we were premier league with potential to earn that back in revenue I could see it.

 

Would take far too long for a championship team to recoup that level of money for the owners.

 

Eddie only does it as it's his team

Blackburn, Chelsea and Man City have won the Premier League thanks to new owners giving them a load of cash. The owners weren't there to recoup money but spend it on their playthings.

Then there are owners like the ones Man Utd have who have bought their clubs to make money.

 

It would be nice for Bolton to have one of the former type and win some silverware

The fact that it's an image rather than a link posted says it all.

Would it?

 

Doubt it

 

If we wanted pure bought glory we could all just Don a sky blue shirt like so many of our manc cousins..

 

Chelsea and city had the infrastructure to reap money. Recent success large local fan base European history..

Like it or not we aren't a big club financially or commercially.

 

Money's killing football and this would kill the club I love and send it over its teetering position of pure business. We would be the play thing of a multi millionaire. New manager every year home grown would have no chance.. Kill the dream for loads of local budding players.

 

Might be for some

 

Not for me.

It's bollocks from the first word. Mansour bin Zayed Al- Nahyan, not Mansoor.

 

Tomayto, tomarto apparently.

 

Mansoor & Mansour both acceptable and interchangeable.

 

Moansour more applicable to us.

What is true is that an exit strategy will be in place. I'll have a fiver on Eavies not owning the club in 12 months.

Well you may as well just burn a fiver.

 

He has been trying to sell it for ages. Trouble is, no fucker wants it.

Doesn't he own City?

 

And you can't own two clubs in the same football association or something?

 

Plus it's bollocks.

 

It's a different one

Try telling him that to his face :shifty:

the strategy will be to cut costs at every available opportunity, which I believe is what they've been doing - all business decisions, not football

 

thing is, no one will want to buy it if ED is hoping to get some of his money back I wouldn't have thought

 

they apparently had buyers interested had we stayed up couple of years back, thai I think, but not much interest since then, so they're working to make it attractive to buy as a business, so keeping costs down etc

 

be a tough sell

if it’s true, they would no doubt turn us into a man city feeder club. unfortunately its a likely situation that the big premier league clubs will look to do this to clubs like us, the FA last season said no to the idea of B teams or development squads being able to join the football league. It would make sense for the owners of man city to buy into a club like ours given the level of our academy and infrastructure. not an idea for the football purists but it may be the future of the game in England

Thought this for a while

 

 

The introduction of the Home Grown player rule has been thunk up by some smart people.

 

There were many ways they could have introduced something like this, but they have left it very open ended with the terminology.

 

It basically means that all bar the top 10/12 clubs in the country will end up as nothing more than feeder clubs, with the odd one sometimes winning the League Cup.

 

Money

Money

Money

 

And we have none of that.
