A stadium that could be developed into a 35,000 capacity that would sell out in the Premier League for starters.

It’s the ethos and business model that has to be right.

Fans need to get over this “love for the club” type mantra for any owner, as long as they are open from the start and lay out a Brentford ( Moneyball ) type plan or the Brighton philosophy I have no issue.

Who cares if we sell a player for £115m to Chelsea if we then buy the next young cab off the tank for £15m or more!

I have no issue with an owner making a big profit as long as the plan is a clear one.

£60m or more for a club of our size and stature is a snip, people in London are paying that much for a house!

It’s a snip to those who have the wealth.

Totally agree Mick! Invest in the stadium and the management team ie an Ashworth type with a damn good salary and built in incentives!
