Taking the Michael

Quoted from TheCodfather1966

I think we all know what the problem is at this club, but until anybody else steps in to take financial control of the club we are stuck with the same problems season in season out.  No doubt we are spending peanuts again assembling a squad of journeymen, who the Board will be praying Russ can turn into a decent team.  No proper investment in the club once again, and the supporters the last to know anything.  Good job we are a loyal bunch and keep the faith.

Don't disagree with this but rather than investors we need benefactors as in reality what ROI would you really get if you pumped a large amount of money in? The only real way to move the club forward financially is to  move which is a WIP that feels like it will never come to an end despite recent developments, council meetings etc...then if we actually moved we then have the issue of turning 5,000 a week home gates into 10,000+ per week to maximise the extra capacity and pay down any loans we take whilst mot selling our bottom and giving away endless free tickets. Even when we where riding high 10K attendances where not always guaranteed. Within all that we have to ensure that we have every corporate space full each week and make the most of external income such as using the facilities for meetings, weddings, conferences, recruitment events etc.. etc...

Where we sit at the moment is that in reality we are a small club in a small relatively remote town who attract modest gates at EFL level, the only way we will make the quantum leap that some fans expect is if we get someone who is a multi millionaire who has a tens of millions in the bank rather than "just" ten million or so and they are willing to throw money at us. Just like Mr Swann.....................What happens though when the Swann's of this world lose interest?
