So much for the big spenders

Cas

No I said loans should be banned, but I do think there should be a option for someone to come into a club and spend there money ie the jack walkers of the world.

If were not careful you'll get where it will be like Spain where only two teams will ever win the league

Investment has to be allowed

I wonder if Ken Bates is trying to fund everything through the revenue generated by the club as opposed to outside investment by means of loans etc?

Isn't that what we are in England & Wales already?

And of course Scotland unless your geograpghy does not stretch that far..............

MOT with proper fans !!

Benny

You've got it Scotland but not England

In Spain because of the tv deal they have done, it will only ever be real or barca, others have no chance

But in England would it surprise anyone if in the next ten years Liverpool won the league, if Chelsea did, if arsenal did, if man city did or man u

It's miles more competitive

Or Leeds!

LIW - in Spain what about Malaga ?

They are owned by a member of the Qatari Royal family only has recently since 2010.

Who is to say that they will not do a Chelsea and beyond?

Let's be honest, of all the things you moan about along with a lot of the others on here it's all in the words Jessie J but only in reverse.................

" It's all about the money"

Even with bad management eventually, the money will tell.............fact.

MOT with proper fans !!!

MOT with proper fans and the odd plank !!!

Surely?

Eric - Whatever your perspective I guess your right.

By the way, I have a guilty pleasure for onions but i cannot and will not say so on here............

There's nothing wrong with onions, we have a fair few cabbages and some turnips on our boards as well, keep reading and you'll see who they are!

Wakey...Manyoo deserve to have more money because they have done it properly. They have attracted the most fans over the years and have been the best supported English club for over 50 years and up until Jack Walker this was always the method for deciding a powerful club. This method ensures fans continue to have an impact on the game whereas the Jack Walker method followed by Chelsea, Mancity, Liverpool means squillionaires are buying success marginalising the effect fans have on the game.

The PL have exacerbated this with their method of distributing TV monies which has allowed 4th div clubs like Wigan to survive in the PL with a core support that wouldn't be out of place in the 4th div. In turn this means well supported clubs like we have a third of the income of the worst supported PL clubs.

Finally, I for one would not want our club to be run by someone who gave £5m or more per year to the club for the same reasons I disapproved of PPs methods even before they failed, they are a form of cheating so what pleasure can a rational Chelsea or Mancity fan get from some squillionaire buying them trophies?
