Who wants these owners to spend their own money on BFC

I do not trust the owners.

if they invest their own money to gamble on success and it fails that they will still want their money back and this would put us as a club at more risk.

I would prefer to carry on as we are where we buy young players and sell some to balance the books, no gambling with our future until a new owner can come in and not risk our club by wanting their money back in full if we are not successful.

 

Maybe reword it as these owners

 

I think we're as likely to go into admin under these owners whether or not they put any of their own money in.

 

I suspect they have nowhere near the amount of money that has been reported since they took over.

Even if they did, this season looks beyond salvaging. There’s no point blowing a fortune only to end up in League One anyway, but with a mountain of debt.

 

I just want us to be competitive in this division luton and Blackpool 2 argubly simliar possibly smaller clubs than us have shown it can be done within budget. These owners want to sign every player in hope of profit then take their cut? What enjoyment do fans get from that especially if they dont care about on the field success.

 

I dont think you can go into administration if you dont owe any money

 

Ten bob billionaires.

 

I think you can lose vast sums of money buy using a scattergun approach of buying many cheap young players that get you relegated

 

Blackpool and luton doing ok this season, next season if a player or coach want to move or not sign a new contract then msybe not.

 

Im pretty sure that if some players are not successful then we are covered from previous sales but im sure with Anderson Helik Morris Brittain Styles Collins Woodrow we have enough player value to stay a float for the future and go again. Then we will hopefully find more new gems which may work out better than before. Who knows?

 

I agree with the sentiment of where you are coming from.
Ideally I would like to see them invest sensibly to ‘prime the pump’ to quote an infamous poster.
Not huge amounts just enough.
In terms of risk if the club owe the Owners money, surely they would not put the club into administration for this as they would get less money back, so I if it was done right they would get back once sold(believe this is what Cryne did).

If it was for them to borrow money and saddle the club with debt to a third party, then it would be an absolute no from me.

 

Not sure the issue is the identification of the players that is the issue, it seems to be what we do with them is the bigger concern.

 

I think the game has changed so much that a sensible amount of investment is no longer enough and priming the pumps may keep you out of the bottom 3 but not definitlely.

 

A football club should be self sufficient, so the owners shouldn't have to put their own money in.

 

But they're not going to keep us debt free are they? We're losing money by getting relegated for a starter, we've had to pay off Schopp.

 

Not if recruitment is done right IMO.
Where we go wrong is we don’t have a player ready to replace an exiting player.
If we take Mads as an example, if we were to be offered say £5m for him he would be gone, but we don’t have a player ready to step in, we go out and buy a player who has to struggle to get there initially and as a result some don’t make it.
If the player ready to step in had enough experience/quality, the £5m would have a small amount spent on the next future first teamer, the rest back into sustaining the club.

 

Not the point really though. The reason were not doing well is because were been used as a player trading hub were on field results dont really matter. The appalling head coach appointments, the way the fans have been treated, the shutting the west stand, the player recruitment in the summer its neglect. Looks like there trying to de value the club from the outside. Id rather they just found someone else and left if this is how they plan on running it.

 

Owners could invest in non-playing aspect such as infrastructure etc but not on players. All clubs should do this not just us.

 

If someone comes along willing to buy I am sure they will be willing to move on, as the championship is proving more difficult i presume for their plan to work in than they expected. I want them to move on as I dont trust them if we go into any sort of debt as i cant see them bankrolling the club.
Until someone comes in with an offer we need to be careful and live within our means, our means maybe league 1.
