I guess Boro's will drop a fair bit too if they stay in the Championship? As for Sunderland???? Think Villa could be heading for a bit of FFP trouble if they stay down. Boro's will drop too, it's over 3 years now (used to be 4- applicable to Villa too). Think they would be okay in terms of FFP for year 2, but if they stay down this and next year then on current trends they would definitely hit the buffers.

When he had Jon and wanted to take him to football, he choose to go to City which started around the late 80s. AFAIK Jon has never gone to Rovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the OP, assume that he just wants the club sold off to the highest bidder when SL's time comes. Careful what you wish for - the next in could be a load of Jordanian Bankers. Most certainly don’t want someone as incapable as Jon Lansdown running this club. He’s showed time and time again he has not a care in the world for supporters.

Huddersfield got promoted to the Premier with a record fee paid for a player of £1.8million so he has never splashed the cash. Swansea were in the Prem way before the yanks arrived and have in fact struggled on the pitch since they took over as well as being criticised for lack of investment.

With the exception of Tan none of those clubs got to the Prem under those owners. And in Tan’s case, they got there by giving up their very identity and became a laughing stock. Lansdown certainly hasn’t got everything right but it could certainly be a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
