Aye, I really don't see it being anything to get excited over. Be mint to see the back of Donald and Methven but realistically I don't think kld wants to spend loads. Even if it was people who know him, we'd continue on as we are. Which is fine, but it's not exactly popping champagne stuff. I don't imagine any "blue chip" types who want to storm the PL would waste their time getting 39% of a club. I imagine it'll be some minor players, enough money to fund the club, maybe invest a little bit more than Donald could but basically happy to let kld continue in his drive for us to be self sufficient, happy to take a back seat and hopeful of a pay off down the line. For me, if it happens, getting rid of Donald and Methven will be great, and it'll be good just to have a settled ownership for a change so we can stop thinking about it, but I don't think anything will change in terms of our plans or ambitions

i agree with you mate after initially believing the hype - but realistically it makes no sense for a big player to purchase a minority stake. i personally hope it is somebody who's vision and values reciprocate the clubs and, like you say, can provide a settled ownership group as we aim to self sustain and make ourselves a club that is able to compete for top 6 in the Championship with the bigger picture being the Premiership.

You don't have to read the threads, just in case you didn't realise.
True, but it would be helpful if threads like this (a fairly significant issue for all of us) could remain on topic instead of pages and pages of nothing.

Well, staying on topic, what have you heard that is significant?

I just want rid of those two and who ever comes in to work with KLD as he takes us forward. We might not spend loads, but I'm liking what he's setting up so far.

That would be the dream of any club I reckon. I'm trying to be a bit more realistic tbh, and I wouldn't want owners like what the mags got. Too much baggage with them.

Hopefully that will all back fire,saudis will soon lose interest.
I'm hoping KLD is well advised unlike Shorty.
Imagine where we would be now if Shorty had been guided by proper people.

Exactly mate. Short chucked money at it. But it was criminally wasted. I remember at one point we were one of the biggest spenders in Europe. He should if used his vast wealth to get the right people in right from the start. Takes more than players to build a club correctly.

How are we getting on then?They’ve bought themselves 5 weeks of doing nothing on transfers or the club. Genius.

It’s exactly what blue chip types want. They don’t want to spunk millions up the wall. By having a sustainable model of bringing through the academy is going to take a fair amount of time to get to the PL and become established but they would stand to make a lot more money out of it. There’s a reason KLD said he’d be around for about 10years.

The normal everyday fan doesn't spend his days obsessing over an internet chat forum and taking it seriously.
There were 50,000 of us at Wembley and, over the entire weekend, I didn't hear one mention of chat boards or what's posted. There's a few hundred actual posters, maximum, and most right minded people look at what's said and take it all with a hefty pinch of salt.
When it gets to the point where you believe a few people, posting gossip on here, influence the thoughts of thousands of decent normal supporters you should really think about taking a break and giving your head a good shake.
