My view on any football owners is that they don't want to make a loss.If you go back a few years back P.C signed players like Lita,Treacy and the like.The result was over the hill players on big wages who turned out to be poor deals financially and on the playing side.He then fetched in buying younger players who would have a resale so the club could progress.Now looking at the league table we can all argue that because the owners have carried on P.C brain child we find our selves at the bottom of the Championship and theres no doubting some of the transfer policy hasn't work.For any club the way to make money is to try and find a formula that will bring success.At the moment we haven't achieved that but theres no way on Gods earth the owners have made a round coin yet.I understand peoples scepticism on owners that are not from the Uk and are here to make a fortune but they can only achieve that with long term success,you don't get paid for failure.
Personally I don't think the owners will bale out but that's just my opinion.
If when we get back to normal football ie playing in grounds with crowds etc and the owners are still here would accept that your views were wrong.If they walk away I will give the biggest apology ever and supply free beers to the members of Tykesmad.
Well that's where you and I differ when you say " when we get back to normal "

Personally I don't envisage that happening within the EFL .

For several years now clubs have chanced their arm and have become up to their nacker in debt and I feel this pandemic will be the reason it finally goes over the cliff .

Once the transfer market collapses within the EFL we don't have anybody to buy our players from us , generally speaking our top talent that is sold is generally sold to Championship clubs .

The saleable talent within the squad at present would only go to Championship clubs , it's difficult to make a case for anyone who is good enough for the PL .

I'm not suggesting the owner's have had a profit out of the club at this moment in time but with what's coming down the road economically it will be a case of dumping the toxic stock and clearing off before they do get severely burned .

The reality is the clubs model no longer exists without a transfer market to operate in .
