John, I shall overlook the insults. I have argued at length my opposition on political and philosophical grounds to the "sugar daddy" model of club ownership. I have also laid out the economic aspects.
I find it sad that so-called socialists on here can see no alternative to being "saved" by a rich benefactor. It doesn't matter a fig to me if the owner is "good", it still means we operate at the whim of an individual and that principle is more important to me than sitting in a shiny new(ish) rented stadium. Many people - see for example John Nicholson's article in March 2022 - agree with me. In parts of Europe the English model is considered ridiculous. You can't have it both ways: if undemocratic ownership is wrong in the wider economy it's wrong in football.
