even if they had the money (they haven't) they wouldn't risk their own capital surely? the quickest way for a rich man to become poor is to buy a football club. if this were to happen they'd have put a consortium together for the funding, or most of it, and just fronted it to secure the money. nice as it would be, it will never happen |

Stranger things have happened. Didn't Linnekar do a similar thing at Leicester? |

they have more than enough money. Remember, these are the guys who have shares (or maybe own) Celador...the company which created and subsequently sold 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' to near enough every single country. All we need is for a few enterprising British businessmen - no foreigners please...especially those like Randy Learner who come in flashing their cash but then a few seasons later invest more in their own countrys interests at the expense of their premier league plaything. Anyways, where was I...yep. A few enterprising businessmen who would take the club out the red. Spend about £5 Million on players and a stable Championship club will be created once again. Then its all a case of looking for the key players to take the club into the Premier League by investing in Youth, taking a chance of hot prospects - whilst all the time spendign within your means. |

Tarrant and Carrot are worth serious wedge. "Who wants to be a millionaire" made them a huge amount of money. However, are they really stupid enough to put it into a football club? |

It's simple. The new owners( whoever they are) paid £1 per share. They were issued at 50p ( I stupidly bought some) and for years they traded way below that figure. I think the low point was about 15p ?! They were moving around the 25p-35p area for ages. Sullivan was hoovering up any small quantities of shares that came onto the market, and so was making a good profit on those. Anything above 35p was " good-will"; and in my opinion is like biting into candy-floss. I was delighted to sell my small holding for £1. I would think the Gullivans still raise a glass to Yeung every time they open their bank statements. It was a stupendous price for the Gullivans to achieve. Why do foreigners want to but British football clubs? Cleaning up dirty money is the first thing that comes to mind. To me, it is the only explanation that makes any sort of sense. |

I can't see them being worth much more than £150m (same as Yeung according to some) and the Sullivan/Gold combo were worth 1 Billion. It doesn't matter what you are worth, its how much they are willing to put into the club without expecting a return. Learner has put 100m into the Vile that he will never see again, and just about made the the top six. This is where football is, either a Chelsea or Man City with all the resources in the world or stable clubs who just service their debts and hope for a good cup run. |

Why is anyone giving this any credability? Its the ramblings of someone leading the carson out protest page, just about anything is being put upon there. Maybe trevor will bring his boots and Carrott can do 20 mins standup at half time too! And remember he cant disclose the source because he is worried about losing his job, from which he is being made redundant....... Stop the world I want to get off! :whistle: |

I concur, but it does raise some interesting points about what fans want and expectations.....Sullivan/Gold were are most wealthy and run the club as a tight ship business model and ultimately made 80m profit....fans were desperate for more investment and stop bouncing between leagues.....Yeung comes in and invests heavily but ultimately it has sent us near broke.....fans spit venom even though we had the investment we craved for.....if a consortium came in like the one mentioned we would be back to square one like under the Sully/Gold. The only way we really move forward is if an investor from the far east is willing to throw tons of money at the club with an unlikely return. I really think people need to take a step back, we have as fans been used as stepping stones for players careers, bad on the field management, bad management at the top level. Secondly we spend so much time attacking each other because of these factors we will never move forward. We are stuck in a vicious circle and we need to break out of it. |

Very good points prawnman dunno if i'd want massive investors from the east or not. I somehow feel humble bein a blues fan and gettin knocked down having had a bit of success people might think i'm mad for saying i wouldn't want man citys money, but if we did it would change us fans like if u have a good personality but were broke and then you won the lottery and it changed you, I would like us to have more money than the villa though just to **** em off lol |

Well at least 35m in a short space of time is more than any others IMO. |

Reading this it looks like the board kept to their promise of investing money into the team. Unfortunately they didn't coach or manage the team, that was left to someone else. |

Less than thirty mill in the two years he has owned the club, don't forget the likes dann, ferguson, johnson came before the takeover... Considering we have now sold £14m which will probbly increase this does not make me think he's invested heavily now he's clawing it all back via his 17 year old son via some holding company in the far east! Wake up people ffs |
