League One MD Two doesn't require major investment to be successful.

The difference between Rupp and L+R is that if investment is needed in the Championship, Rupp has the money to put some in.

Until then, it's wasting resources.

 

Unfortunately your correct .

 

I do think we've had genuine owners who wanted the best for us but unfortunately very few had the money to chase their dreams and that certainly goes for Big Geoff, without the Rhodes family investment not sure we would have got the the Premiership, but that's another story.

 

No I wouldn't because no body saw the Admins coming and hindsight is always a bit pointless in my book, foresight and planning for what ifs are more my scene. I contributed to that philosophy in my business career and it largely worked. I know football can be and usually is different but only due to people running it throwing sound practice out the window when they see a football pitch. Our last Chairman being a good example together with Geoffrey and his famous madness period.

 

Top post @Faithful Bantam, I'm with you how could a successful business man be conned by the likes of Rahic and because of his ignorance with regards football not get involved as to why basically his club was performing so badly last season that it had to take Bradford City fans to make him aware of the situation at Valley Parade.

 

She won the Pools (lottery) back in the day. Crica £3.5m in todays wonga. Vowed to spend,spend,spend and did just that.
60's equivalent to that Chavy tw@t from Norwich

 

The money that GR and the Rhodes family invested time get us into the PL wasn’t really a gamble on the clubs future but more of their own personal wealth. Had we not gone up, they’d have lost money on big transfer fees without risking the club as a whole.
GR took the risks to another level when he rebuilt the stadium and committed to those silly salaries on long contracts.
I don’t want to see that ever happen again but I do want the current owner or any new owner to do what GR did and commit some of their own money.

 

What plan was that?

 

Can you explain it to Bronco then please, I've got headache.

 

Unlike you not to take a great offer like that up to help give your expertise to the club.

 

He did have one very radical idea re development though, and had the balls to try it on at least one PL club

 

Average losses in the Championship last season were £23.3 million

 

Exactly Fordy. Maybe he doesn't actually want to sell and the £10M valuation is to potential buyers off.

 

The last time Doyle was as prolific as this was when he was on loan at Oldham when he scored 17 in 32/34 appearances. Both spells under the same manager who obviously knows how to use him. I should imagine he has missed chances at Swindon but I don't really remember him missing a boat load of chances here, he was having to do a lot of work outside the box due to the way we used him.

 

£15 million? That wouldn't even buy us a top centre forward in the championship!
