Only really a worthwhile question if you have an alternative lined up who can cheat FFP.

Decision wise, they have become increasingly questionable, but they are at the limit of investment.

At the right price, there would be investor(s) willing to buy whatever is up for sale.

Cheating FFP to a strong degree is harder by far there days, so many loopholes shut- real-time and future monitoring, Fixed Asset rules, specialist monitoring bodies.

Thst aside last few months I've reluctantly come round to yes. Post Scott, the silent and then removed CEO..feels like we are a rudderless ship- drifting in the ocean, drifting no real clue where we're going but drifting all the while.

To be honest, I'd be respect this poll a lot more if it it was published on a day other than a matchday. I don't think the Lansdowns are doing a great job but I'm utterly sick of fans absolutely shitting the bed every time we lose a game. And I say that as someone with a bowel condition. 

We lost today. That's crap. But can we wait for 48 hours and take a deep breath before pontificating on the entire future of the club?

Maybe the @The Constant Rabbit waited a fortnight from Millwall 🤣🤣🤣

Sell majority of shares to a new investor, but remain on the board.

New investor to appoint all staff especially those in charge of football matters (DoF, Coaches, Recruitment, Medical etc..)

The Lansdowns deserve our thanks  and I would like them to stay (if they so wish) for all the good things they have done for us.

However; new people required to make the big decisions in getting this club moving forwards and upwards.

Lansdown has sunk in how much - 200 odd million? He's not going anywhere until he recovers most of that.

Reality check

Reality check adjustment. It's a football club, football isn't, has not been and will not be, profitable.

Unless you get a club into the top 1%.

If we're also aiming to increase sustainability - you don't tend to sack a well-liked manager in the middle of an injury crisis due to a difference of opinion in a professional setting and replace him with a novice coach with 24 months managerial experience for a large compensation package, with further spending to sack incumbent coaches spending more to replace them.... when the formers contract ended in 8 months anyway.

This is only going to all get worse due to the way in which NP was sacked. Its lose lose for the board as, if they back Manning now, others such as myself will question as to why the predecessor didn't get backed. The fact they also feel the need to back him rubbishes 'the squad is good enough' argument.

It's just flagrant egotism, cronysim, and incompetence. Utter delusion.

Whilst somewhat agreeved at how they handled the Nige sacking I read these comments and thinkfeck me look back to the Russe &Davidson eras and want to know how much better it would have been with them in charge? I stand by the Landsdowns, not because they’ve delivered what we all expect but god forbid what could end up happening to us if we sold our sole to the highest bidder!

From someone who isn’t overly enamoured with how it’s going at the moment but has seen enough over the last 40+ years to think we’ve always flattered to deceive but never quite performed!!

Without a new investor, its a pointless exercise. If they were to walk out tomorrow it would be Administration, -10 points minimum and probable relegation.

Until something/anything is confirmed about a takeover there is no choice.

Theres always a choice and if it got our club back from the monster he`s created I`d take that choice, what and where has his dream actually got us, since him and Dawe kicked double record breaking manager SC out?........NOWHERE AT ALL.
