The club is in good shape. It begs to nobody other than in house.
It certainly could be run on a little bit more of a looser rein but it's a real fine line as to how loose is loose in terms of long term gain rather than potential short term gain for long term pain...and this is far from pain, other than negative football being served up that I personally hate, but is set up to easily change with what we have.

However, no need to argue that.
To go after the Keegan type years of the Sir Bobby type years of close but not quite close enough, will take monumental finances that is unsustainable for this club under its present owner without him putting his own hand in his own personal pockets.

Other than that we need an owner who can basically bankroll the club.
Ashley isn't going to do it and he's not willing to go too far ahead in trying even with the clubs money as it stands because I don't even know if he knows what he wants in terms of staying or going.

However, it will be what it will be and until then it's a case of accepting what is, because there's nothing anyone can do other than Ashley or a new potential owner....or if the fans are hell bent on wanting him out with the MP in the city, then buy him out and run it as a fans club, then any future issues have to be solved by the fans and the city itself and fingers can only be pointed at each other as a group.
