Owners

Taken from an article on BBC Sport;

'Doughty, who saved the Reds from administration when he bought the club for £11m in 1999, did allay fears that he would be withdrawing his financial backing.

I have said on a number of occasions I have always been happy to support the club on a financial basis.

The life-long Forest fan has invested almost £100m of his personal fortune into the club - and estimates put his yearly outlay to ensure Forest continue to survive at about £12m.

But he told BBC Radio Nottingham he does not expect to get any of that money back, despite all but the initial £11m being in the form of loans.

"I have said on a number of occasions I have always been happy to support the club on a financial basis," he insisted.'

Now, I'm not privy to any of the DCFC accounts but hopefully the cost cutting measures we have taken over the previous few years have left us in a better financial state than Forest!

I would be seriously concerned if we were spending 12m per year just to stand still. Whilst I would love to see more investment (a recognised striker and midfielder would do nicely thanks!) I think that on the whole we can't be to disappointed with our owners, whilst they may not be in it for the love of the club I doubt that they will leave it in the same financial mess as other clubs seem to be.
