I would have loved all the corrupt cun-s joined that super league and we had a decent fan base league to enjoy once again.
Wouldn't last (or have lasted). The same would develop once an "elite" of the same sort was established in the "new" league. Go back 40 years, and the "top six" equivalent existed and the same kind of deference was evident, just the TV money didn't f00k everything up. TV money isn't going away, so the same as we have now would develop. The same kind of root and branch changes needed at LUFC are required within football in general and the world over, but they won't happen (any more than they will happen at LUFC), because the money won't allow it.
The next transfer window opens mid-June, just what likelihood is there that the ownership issues will be resolved in less than three weeks from NOW, and that a new team of skilled, experienced, capable professionals with a complete analysis of the who, what, where and how of playing staff and the needs for replacement etc, will be in place anywhere close to when they need to be?
None.
Confusion, fear & anger are the main emotions season ticket friends going to ER for the Spurs game have expressed to me this week after a torrid season travelling up/down motorways to support the club in tough economic times.
Does't help reading some of the dross names been touted to be our next coach either - its gonna turn into a summer panto me feels.
Just hoping overwhelmed emotions wont see fans spill onto the pitch during the course of the game.
Suspect after 90 mins if relegated emotions will be aimed at the Boardroom as its been surfacing at most 'away games' from the hard-core travelling support.
Rightly or wrongly its difficult to express opinion 'en masse' at grounds nowadays via demonstration without Police actions being enforced if spontaneous.
All gone quiet on social media for Radz & Kinnear although Simon Jordan wrote a piece on Radz today in Daily Mail titled Leeds are in a disaster zone but relegation can help them to clear up the mess.

Precisely, unless and until the ownership issue is resolved, there is no contractual context within which those unofficial conversations can be made official. Without that, no contracts can be entered into, appointments made, structures agreed and positions filled (on and off the pitch).
From this weekend until the start of the new season is around 11 weeks, 77 days. It took our current owner from the start of February to the start of May, in conditions that were about as black and white as you could make them, to appoint Allardyce having sacked Marsch in early Feb, about as long as we have until the new season starts.
