    As the chances of him spending millions on buying a football club, but not trying to improve it are almost zero, it's got to be an improvement on the current non-investing, no ambition, dopey ****wits.

    You won't remember this but at BP we had a few owners who bought in, hailed as moneybags messiahs, but proved themselves to be clueless crooks who fleeced and skinted the club.,

    So on past experience, it may not be an improvement.

    You heard it here first.

    Out of interest who/what would a potential new owner have to be/demonstrate to gain your approval?

    None of them risked £20m of their own cash to take it over in the first place, completely different situation.

    No idea, it was just a guess, I think they might have gone under £20m in League One, but probably want more again now.

    At least this 'potential' new owner has football club ownership history.... Fortuna Sittard in Holland... he wont be able to roll out the 'we are not football people' bollocks.... the fear is that the boy blunder gets the CEO job or similar as part of the sale...

    It's about countering the idea that 'Anyone Better than the Allams.'

    I don't believe it is.

    I will be ****ing delighted with a wise, benevolent, generous owner with shrewd insight, who gets us living within our means (or near enough not to risk the club's existence) and who reverses the tide of recent years.

    I want to see the ground full and noisy again, I want to see it become a piece of piss to watch City again instead pf a major bureaucratic and logistical exercise .
    I don't want some silly **** to reinvent the wheel, the crest, the name, etc just do what Adam Pearson first did. Tackle all grumbles, gripes one by one, week after week, month after month...engage with the fans and the word spreads within the city....'This bloke means it'

    It would be a bonus if they put money in but more important is they show they understand the club is broken and they know it needs fixing as a priority.

    The club is in a complete ****ing mess.
    Totally apathy throughout apart from a few mugs on here.
    It’s dying a slow death

    Whilst I agree it would be possible for new owners to be worse than the Allams, they would have to try hard. Very hard indeed.

    I'm not sure it's particularly relevant, as he wasn't the main man in that deal, but they were bottom of the league when he and his mate took over and they were 12th when he departed (they finished the season 11th and they're 12th four games into this season).

    Ask fans of OAFC, Cov, CAFC, NFFC, DCFC, NUFC. SWFC if they think their owners are better than the Allams
