Surely he could work around it and pump money in. Just can't believe he would just let it slide, you don't have to know business to realise we need quality in the team to stay up or compete. If selling is the only way to raise money for the club he must be kicking himself although he should have sorted this a very long time ago.

Where's the money going to come from? We have a £68m external loan already because he hasn't got liquidity. He has a whole string of hard to sell unlisted investments - only by selling those could he raise cash. Even then, that would involve him selling off something that's probably giving him a return to put cash into another which is losing money hand over fist.
 
We seem to have nobody in midfield capable of moving forward with the ball. It’s either side to side or backwards

It’s what I don’t understand, at least Ashley was smart enough to realise his club would be worth fuck all as a championship side, Ellis hasn’t twigged on he won’t get back the original fee he paid the Irish lot if we find ourselves in league one.

He is as thick as fuck that's why. Christ knows how he's made any money (Short that is).

We aren't alone in terms of the fact the last few years have proven 99% of American billionaires are absolutely thick as fuck and couldn't run a club if they're lives depended on it, they're all f***ing useless unless its some shitty joke sport outfit back home called the mighty titan seahawks or summat

Only our billionaire would rather get his cash back by selling the debt to an “unattached” loan company and keep paying interest for years. We’re not in any more debt than most but we structure it to loose money and cripple us. He’s never done it in the interests of the club, which makes you wonder.

Possibly write some of the loan off, I very much doubt he would do that though. I do fear for the club the way it's going unless there is a takeover and I very much doubt anyone wants it at the minute.

So that's Birmingham, Bolton and Burton all losing so all's not lost. We just need to finish 21st, I'd absolutely take finishing on 35/36 points and limping to survival as long as there's 3 worse sides.

35 / 36 points will mean almost certain relegation. Around 45- 50 will probably be required, going off previous seasons.
