    If you think Ashley would spunk £30 - £40 million on upgrading our facilities you've lost the plot. All fantasy anyway of course because there's zero chance of him taking over

    Investment you say.. Bradford City fans don't want investment.

    Besides, Ashley will buy derby for a £1;)

    We need another Geoffrey Richmond to buy the club, He would build us another brand new stadium and top players all on borrowed money

    He did the bare minimum to keep them in the premiership and turning a profit, all he cared about was keeping the Sky money coming in and holding on until a big offer came in, which he eventually got. A great (if morally bankrupt businessman) but an awful owner.

    Between 2010 and 2019 their combined profit was £79million. That's only about £8.7million a year so really isn't a massive profit. Sure he could have spent more but £8.7million wasn't going to even pay the transfer fee of one good player every year, let alone when you add wages and the likes into the mix.

    Should we really be wanting owners to be like Derby who drives them to the wall with overspending or should they actually be operating under their revenue? Just imagine where Newcastle would be right now if Ashley had thrown silly money at the club, I believe only Man Utd had a bigger loss due to lack of fans at stadiums than Newcastle and even with being run at a small profit all that money has been more than wiped out
