I nearly spat out my tea at the £65m valuation. They must be on mind bending drugs, the proper shit.

They are running the club into the ground. They're so rubbish at this, yet so arrogant that they would rather plough in their own money every so often to cover their losses, than actually try and work out a way to run the club properly and on a self sufficient footing. Quite literally more money than sense. Clowns, all.

Oh, and surely by now we should have a policy of referring to that so-called supporters organisation as "the Mistrust".

What a complete and utter mess.
 
More money being poured in to cover operating losses. That's the Championship for you.
nah that can't be it these Yanks have been siphoning off loads....instead of buying players according to the masses
 
Best thing we can do now is start planning for league one, in that the next transfer window(s) start buying players of that caliber. We can't keep throwing money at this model or else we will lose the club completely. The owners can't and won't keep throwing money at us.

Innit.

Disagree with 'masses' though - I'd say more 'fringe fantasists'.

And according to Rog, the 'analyst in his field' in Gorseinon - our owners are 'skint'.

Imagine if we didn't have owners wealthy enough to not only keep the lights on to cover our structural gap, but also significantly invest in new players (record amount spent in the summer window), with promises of more investment (not debt) to achieve their ambitious goals and maximise shareholder / stakeholder value. Imagine if we also manage to land a proper football man as an additional new investor......

Is that before or after McBurnie and a world beating centre back mate?

Clearly not on the Babycham tonight, that was way too polite Mon.
You should be thankful for the ongoing, potent, prescient intel/facts keeping you at the bleeding edge.

I've never understood that siphoning off money from the club argument, just nonsense.
I think they're guilty of wasting money by continuously making very bad decisions though which is hugely frustrating.
 
Cravatt as far as we know still hasn't put any money in - don't think the club has actually claimed that yet (in contrast to Coleman who they say has albeit as part of the murky LLC).
Anyone actually know what Gude does, cause he must be on a fair wedge??
 
The problem isn’t the regular injection of capital. Without it we would be heading towards sizeable debt, there is no doubt about this.

The problem lies with the football and org structure related decisions, and some of the bad examples have cost us tens of millions. Getting these decisions right is not easy and there’s no magic formula (see the plight of other Championship clubs). The owners have to keep searching for the magic formula, success of which in IMO is reliant upon two things 1. Installing a professional at the helm of running the operation, 2. Listening to that person and following their recommendations. I had hoped that the intro of Morris et al would have had more influence with regards to 1. & 2. Sadly not it seems.

Many people genuinely think all football is like the PL where clubs naturally turn a profit and have pocket money to spend every transfer window. So when we sell a player for £15m and only spend £5m you get posts asking "where has all the money gone!?!"

It's fair enough from an average football fan why is under no obligation to understand or care about how the financial side actually works (what do you mean there's other costs besides the transfer fees reported on TV?) but you sometimes hear the same things from professional pundits (like Iwan Roberts on Elis James podcast) who should probably take the time to inform themselves better before having a rant to a large trusting audience.
