They basically go for anything in the Premier League. It’s the gold standard for these investors. Long term they’ll be looking to jack prices up and take money out of the business.

People think all the investing will go on for ever, but they are all just trying to crystallize their position and then pull up the drawbridge.

American owners don’t really care much per se about winning. It’s all about extracting maximum profit over the long term.

Well yeah, it’s a business. And they own it. We shouldn’t be so naive to not think that every owner has that in mind. But to make more money, they need to be successful. It’s goes hand in hand.

Winning is a huge cultural thing in the US. I have no reason to doubt their want to win. As so far, they have stumped up cash to buy us and have made significant changes in how we are run.

Prices were being jacked with the new stadium regardless. We have been appalling at making money. I don’t want people priced out but our merchandising and profitability has been horrendous for decades and we have paid the price for that on the pitch.

Ignore him, he's... suspect.

“Guy is thick”

Sorry don’t you mean “The guy is thick” or you some road man from London missing out words.

They have protected their investment, they will be able to realise the stadium value in a years time and be able to sell for a healthy profit.

It’s smart and a good investment but doesn’t help us win does it because that’s what we are all in this for seeing our club win.

If they decide not to sign any players, as you intimate is happening, we’ll be relegated and there’s not a chance they sell for anything other than a hefty loss, stadium or not

Mate the actual President of the USA is one of the thickest people ever to walk the earth, so I’d probably refrain from that particular argument.

 

[matty1878]

No it’s just owners who aren’t here to win.
