    Do many of them actually work out? It seems to me that most of them go t*ts up and rarely result in (1) Success and sometimes (2) Investment into the first team - off the top of my head ones that have failed:

    Leicester
    Pompey
    Sheff W
    Leeds
    Birmingham

    Looking forwards to the American investment at old Trafford the arabian investment at Man City and Russian investment at Stamford bridge all going tits up this year so we can have some british success for a change.

    Just think if Yu Hu or whatever came and bought Barnsley. Do you think we would be better off. We would be screwed then cat off to another screwball

    I was mulling over the very same t'other day!

    I think I'm quite happy as we are. PC off the hook. Running at a small profit. Can only see the income increasing. Did well on the pitch in '13. New structure above. Look like they'll make improvements on what we've got already.

    Not sure I'd want an apple cart upsetter in.

    Its a debate with arguments for both sides I know. But with the FFP on the horizon I'd stick, not twist!

    thats the thing isn't it. If Abramovich or the Arab chaps get bored with them then aren't then in a disasterous place because they are running at a huge loss I would have thought.

    Notts County and the Sol Campbell / Sven fiasco
    Venky's at Blackburn
    QPR went up but things look like going totally tits up there in the near future.
    The jury is still out at Forest but the owners have already proved themselves to be completely mental and it could definitely blow up at any moment

    Means most does it?

    Villa are owned by a billionaire and are best part of 100m in *****.

    Fulham and Sunderland... Something strange is going on there but I can't quite figure out what.

    Both al fayed and those in charge of Sunderland appear on the Irish governments national asset management lists.

    Ie they have extensive property loans out.
