    I would be qiute happy for Ashley to remain in charge IF he stopped taking the plss out of the fans with the constant lies/interpretations. Develop the infrastructure and give the manager a decent kitty to keep the squad improving and able to compete and spend how he pleases.

    Feck sake if he said to Rafa, i will upgrade the facilities and youth system, give you 80m a season + player sales for the next 5 years to spend how you like as long as we finish top 10 each time and keep the wage budget under X amount, im sure we would all be extatic with that.
    Rafa could replace 3-4 players a season with better players,we would be a very good side in a season or 2

    A combination of the 3. Its not either or, it can't be.

    My choice, if pushed would be mainly option b but with the caveat of an occasional marquee signing to improve the team when the time is right - you know, a 20 to 30 million striker to help push the team into the top 7 when the manager uses his experience and knowledge to recommend it. Investment, obviously wouldn't need to be on the City or Man U level but an effort or signal of intent to climb the table and improve year on year is essential.

    It doesn't necessarily have to be a different owner, I would be quite happy if Ashley himself did this.

    a buyer who would want to make us a steady ship spend enough to keep us reasonably competitive and develop local talent from youth up to first team

    c
    not bothered as long as its not ashly
    Just someone with more ambition than Ashley will do, doesn't have to spend millions and millions of his own money every season. As long as it's enough to challenge the top 8 of the prem and break our transfer record a few times.

    Two avoidable relegations though - JFK then McClaren - who else would've employed either of those two? Plus the near miss with Carver of course...
