    My only worry is to be careful what you wish for. We need investment, but Gao at least isn't asset stripping us.

    If, in spite of all the tv money, the club can only compete in the PL with investment from the owners, then it rather looks to this ignorant individual, as though the whole thing is ****ed.

    I hope Gao buys Newcastle when he’s done with Saints.

    just seen this on Saintsweb & thought it would be interesting to get peoples thoughts.

    What type of new owner would people like?

    1. A multi billionaire Government fund from some dodgy country as per Newcastle.

    2. A multi billionaire dodgy individual like Man City

    3. A billionaire who wants us as a play thing much like Chelsea

    4. A multi millionaire local with ties to the club with enough money to invest every year to aid transfers & make improvements to the stadium

    5. Something else



    For me I would love to have number 2 but in reality would be happy with number 4.

    I thought about fan ownership but in this day & age I don't think that is a sustainable process.

    Any of 2 to 4. Preferably 2 or 3. And the City owners aren't dodgy.

    It is outside the top flight. Also works in Germany.

    Good luck finding fans with deep enough pockets to fund a PL club.

    I know but with the PL as it is, it's not realistic to envision a fan owned PL club.

    An honest billionaire with personal integrity (yeah, I know), whose wealth comes from manufacturing useful high quality products like, I dunno, cranes, automation systems, handling technology etc. Maybe a man who also knows a good watch when he sees one...

    Obviously not many men like that about, sadly.

    We won't, but if we're not a PL club and don't have new owners, what we'll be is bankrupt, not a fan-owned club.
