Typical lazy response. I'm amazed you haven't trotted out the but Bury/Bolton/Wigan (delete as appropriate) line
Riddler statement.
Seeing as you brought up Bury/ Bolton/ Wigan perhaps you should seek their fans opinion on owners just so we have a balanced argument .
It is the sign of a lost argument when anyone starts telling supporters to find billionaires or lists of new owners. I made this point clearly earlier,: Hemmings is now the sole owner of the club and it is entirely his responsibility to fund the club properly or, find new owners. He took the job on when he threw the rest of us out. So now if any of us think he is doing it badly we will call him out on here as often as we like.
And at the same time we can talk to fans of Brentford, Bristol City, Accrington Stanley, Man City, Tranmere Rovers, Aston Villa, Peterborough, Lincoln City, Port Vale, Luton Leicester

Ooops, my mistake, everything is hunky dory in football, not a financial problem anywhere although income is virtually zero and outgoings are massive........all these nice owners are just stumping up loads of cash to keep things ok , none of them have been affected financially by the pandemic either, silly me Paddy, wherever did I get that impression 🙄
So what you are saying is yes, you made it up.
Bet Tangmere Rovers makes your eyes water 😝
Ffs
And how many sizeable signings who didn’t manage 10.
But as you apparently know something we don’t know and that there is a queue of potential buyers waiting to pay TH for the club, then fund the losses and pay for new high cost signings and their wages to match then that’s great and leaves me feeling quite confident about the future.
Thanks for putting me right about all that.
I take it you have evidence and proof of this happening....😉
All made up Paddy, sorry for upsetting you.
It’s of course not true that clubs have virtually no income.
It’s of course rubbish that clubs have to still pay all their normal costs and additional ones because of Covid restrictions.
It’s total balderdash that finance and business has not been affected by this pandemic.
And of course I haven’t spoken to contacts in various parts of the country about what is going on with their local clubs.
Everything is perfectly fine and I made it all up 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
What was that you were saying about PNE getting a new owner etc........🤔..........who did you say it was?
If the rest of us were still the owners we would really be fucked now Fred, or have you got a spare £50 million under the mattress?
Here you go, list of every Championship scorer last season. Crack on finding the expensive strikers that didn't score as many as ours with similar appearances.
Championship - List of goalscorers 25/26
This statistic show the goal scorer list of the Championship in the 25/26, sorted by the amount of goals.
Once again if the club was put on the market at a reasonable price then there would be interested parties. Given the club announced in 2018 that Hemmings valued the club "far in excess of the £30m quoted in the press" there is a very good reason we aren't hearing reports of interested parties every other week.
Given Leeds were sold for £45m and their revenues, squad value and facilities at the time far exceeded what we have the value the owner has on the club is utterly astounding.
Have you read the Bristol City forum, most of them sound like you pissed off with the billionaire Bristol City chairman Landsdown even though they have the strikers we would like!

Lansdown has misjudged the current situation but overall has done excellent for Bristol City and grown the club to give it some excellent assets.
Bristol City fans are right to hold Lansdown accountable but the situations are incomparable.
Bristol City fans are pissed off because they held on to Lee Johnson for too long and it has taken weeks and still no manager.
Like I said earlier if you stop trying to move forwards you go backwards. 6 months ago the Bristol City owner was voted one of the top 10 owners in the Football League.

That figure for Leeds allowed for liabilities, something we don’t have.
And again Paddy, exactly where is the proof of these interested parties, of course there would enquiries, they would be fishing , administrators at Wigan asked for a £100,000 deposit and they all vanished.
You need to get in the real world Paddy not fantasy island.....

Always the same story with the cap-doffing TH ultras.
All their own wild claims (no one else wants to buy the club, no other transfer policy could possibly have made the squad stronger, "I've spoken to contacts in various parts of the country about what is going on with their local clubs") are offered with absolutely zero evidence - we are just supposed to take them all on trust.
While they demand evidence and proof from everybody else.

Quite right, we finished above them.......
And Lansdown is in the world of investments, I think he’s quite busy at the moment with a few little business problems, no big name manager appointed there, he’s now watching the pennies...
What’s good for Peter is good for Paul.....
