A comment about the letter to the EFL its not a begging letter for BFC its a plea to help all relegated teams in all divisions who are going to suffer financially due to having no income streams due to covoid that seems fair enough to me and Im sure all the teams who are suffering income loses will be grateful the subject has been fetched up.
When our owners took over they stressed running the club sustainably and like it or not they've kept to there word.Recruitment could have been different but all teams at the bottom can say that.
Somebody mentioned if the club got parachute money they'd trouser it.Well that's a little bit daft because the money would go to wages ,transfers and the general running of the club that's what sustainability means recycling the income to keep the club running.
I know some question the wealth of our owners well while doing a little research I came up with this.
About 3 years ago our owners tried to buy Middlesborough they offered 50million pounds for 50% share of the club which Steve Gibson turned down because he didn't want to lose half his share.While not wanting to part with half his share he still did due diligence on the group and he confirmed they had "substancial financial muscle" I take that as meaning they're loaded.While turning there offer down he was interested in there concept and was in talks for them to make Boro a worldwide brand.
It also mentioned the Media Capital Group are interested of following City Football Group in owning a club on each continent.I hope one or 2 find my comments interesting to read.
