Mint. Lets face it, there are always going to be a couple of successes using this method of investment, if you are lucky enough for it to happen immediately, you might get a sensible owner, with good people around them and even avoid the FFP fines as well. The truth is (although @Tinman85 would rather not consider this) the lower reaches of this league, league 1 and even league 2, are littered with examples where this has gone horribly wrong.

Surely that's a recipe for financial problems, again, unless we made the Prem? Not everyone can get promoted each season after all. In Tinman’s world you just buy a load of ‘names’, chuck 50 grand a week at them and walk the league. Easy. I honestly don’t know why Lansdown hasn’t thought of that yet, especially when you see how well it’s worked out for Leeds, Derby, Sunderland, Wednesday, Birmingham.....

Amazing how quickly people forget that we did exactly that and got what we deserved for it - ten years to get back to where we were before we started. Everyone wants everything instantly these days and can’t see the damage it causes long term. Do these people ever think about what happens when the ‘ambitious’ new investor (who doesn’t give a shit about the fate of a club he has no connection to) gets bored and fucks off? Probably not. How many examples are there of that happening and the club being left in a better state than when they arrived? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Lansdowns. But I also like success. And who wouldn't give for us to have a wolves style approach with Neves and Jota types. It's a bit of debate. New investment could mean a partership with the Lansdown boys at the helm. We certainly are an attractive proposition surely now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wolves have been very clever TBH, loaning players with an agreement to sign them on promotion. Can we honestly say we could offer the same likelihood of promotion as they do?
