We need to be practical and not reel off a wish list every 2 minutes. Ashley needs to go because he is not prepared to invest sufficiently in this business and the business of running a football club is not compatible with his style. Ashley values us at twice the price of Southampton - he needs to re-evaluate this. There are many aspects of the club that make us attractive to buy - the manager and finacial stability, fan base, etc. Get the price right, Ashley, and do us all a favour.
but what is sufficiently
surely you cant put a figure on it as we may have only spent a few million in this transfer window and al the players could come good
however if we spent 140 mill it doesn't guarantee us anything

we are not a great buy

there is little in the way of improvement to be made except for spending hundreds of millions

the fan base cant increase we sell out every week

financial stability created by ashly
the manager appointed by ashly

unless you have someone on an ego trip we are not a good buy

to spend 400 mill on a club when players are going for half that is a great price so I think ash has us undervalued

but with us whinging at every opportunity if say deutsha bank came in and wanted to rename the stadium kraut park or the likes they would be arguing with the fan base from day one

you either want a successful club and forgoe a lot of what people love about our club
or you keep with someone like ash
