    Yeah...that's in one season...far more than Ashley ever does...nobody expects to challange the top four instantly...just to visibly improve each season and start to compete..

    Now jog on you waste of an afterbirth...

    When the transfer window ends and we have no LB and no CF and the fakeover is just that.We have been informed that 200m is nowhere near enough,so does the Ashley apologist that started the thread think as its bare minimum that Mike will invest more than 200m?.
    I will answer for you,not a chance but thanks for slipping up and suggesting the club needs severe investment on everything.Big liars need good memories.

    as someone pointed out on the radio - its more like a top 2 now - the other 4 of the top 6 are going backwards (except maybe spurs) and wont take as much catching as they would have 3, 4, 5 years ago

    good time to buy if you want to break into top 6 methinks

    No I don't think he will spend 200 mill as the club don't have it
    However I would hope and have said if a new owner came in it needs close to 400-500 mill investment straight away if you want to get top 4
    Me personally don't think we are anywhere near top 4
    And haven't been for many many years right back to when the previous owners sold to ash

    Some teams have spent miles more than we have and are no where near breaking the top 4

    So whilst I want a new owner
    I'm not going to get excited about the Saudi royals and an investment of 200 mill on players and training facilities

    Let's face it apart from the goalie and maybe one or two players we would need 12 players
    40 mill plus players at that unless we are locky and find someone who can find some cheap gems
    And do that in two years

    And hope the likes of city scouscers Chelsea spuds wolves manure don't improve

    How many points are we from top 6
    Maybe the two new ones and maybe a forward could propel us to that

    Then we can all stick with ash and not sell our souls to the sport washing Saudis who don't allow ladies like you to sit with males at football matches
    And until recently wouldn't let you drive to a match

    I'd be happy to guarantee competing between 7th and 12th for a sustained period....

    I don't demand top 4 football, I expect a competitive club....

    i have said that many times

    we are a top 8-12 team

    we are steady

    we have no fear under bruce of going down

    we are a striker or two away from a dcent t competitive side

    we have improved this season

    and a billion pound doesnt guarantee top 4
    look at manures spending

    people just playing monopoly money footy
