    That place looks awesome, especially the swimming pool, the complex must have cost a fair few Bob!

    Nice soundtrack, too!

    I think we have done amazingly considering we have never spent any money, years in the top flight, a state of the art training ground and academy.
    How many clubs without money could achieve that?
    Maybe one day we will get an owner with ambition.

    It has only been just over twenty years since we had a forty years old bloke playing in the first team.

    Exchanged some e-mails with Geoff (Baggieboygeoff when he posted on here) and he, too, stressed the problems at the top/helm. Peace conned everyone, including Lai (and yes, Lai out!).

    As I have said before people shouldn’t consider themselves as owners of football clubs, they are custodians. We need someone who will look after the club and invest all of the money earned in the facilities and playing squad. It is a shame we as supporters can’t buy the club, elect a chairman to run it as a not for profit company, that way we would be in a position to continue to punch above our weight.
    Pie in the Sky I know but I just want someone at the helm who genuinely has the interest of the club at heart.

    No idea how true but I've been reading strong online rumours of a takeover being completed by mid January. Just rumours so far so don't shoot the messenger.

    In Sweden members of a club must own (at least) 51 % of the club, so no single businessman or company can own it.

    That, of course, is a reason why our clubs never can compete at international level - but, there are so many other benefits, being rid of ”international investors et al”.
