They have no intention of doing it....you can see it now get relegated sell our 2 main assets lai trouser the money we start again .

The club employs 200 people?! Seems high to me... Especially as they got rid of 3 or was it 5 jobs in the shop(s)... so they've already binned some off...

People love this idea that he's going "asset strip" in this case by "trousering" transfer funds but it's been said a hundred times that A) being in the Prem makes us more attractive to a buyer so there is reason to keep us as reasonably competitive as possible B) if he takes mega bucks out of the club it just lowers the price - there was a good £30m of cash assets in the bank tied up in the deal he bought us for.  Therefore he can either run us into the ground to get half his money back or keep his promise of having the club as self financing, save face and sell us on for a bit more than half of what he paid.  He's (or more like they) have made a big fuck up in buying us but at some point they'll have to get out or risk losing more and more of their investment when we get stuck in the Champ.

The big issue long term is we're probably due a complete twat of an owner who really will put us on the back foot to the point that bottom three in the Prem and spending £25m on two exciting attackers will go back to seeming like winning the Champions League to us.

Lai can’t trouser the money. We aren’t set up that way.

Can't help but feel we've had this conversation before?.....

139 People listed on the Club's own directory, and that is including 10 directors and 2 honorary members. I really can't believe that Luke Dowling would say 200 when it's more like 125.

We had a couple of weeks ago, but the thread was deleted. Then we had it a couple of days ago. Now we are having it again...

Can Birdy set up a new section of the board where people can go to have the same arguments over and over again? We can stick all the Lai and Johnstone stuff in there.

Something like this maybe.

Isn't it a case of when we're in the Prem we're worth more so Lai is keener to sell but buyers won't see us as a good buy as we're already expensive... if we're in the Champ we're worth less so Lai is less keen to sell but investors would be more likely to see us as an opportunity to grow their investment?
