Wheres the Money gone?

Wheres the Money gone?

I’m seeing far too many people saying - “I don’t see a queue of people waiting to buy the club off him”.

My car isn’t for sale. If someone offered me twice of what it’s actually worth, I’d sell it.

Surprisingly, no one is queueing up to buy my car either.

Kingly, do you thing Trev will open the purse strings this week, it's obvious to a blind man what we need

Asking for a modest increase in spending is not the same as advocating a shit or bust approach. Lets not raise the red herring of the make up of Hemmings wealth,it doesn't matter, if he wanted to finance a push for promotion he would be able to do so, he is a billionaire, £1000 million.
We either try for promotion whilst we have a young talented squad and manager or we don't, if we don't its back to league one we go, eventually, with the financial hit that entails.

I serioulsly don't understand, how people don't understand ,what proton says above.

It's as simple as that.

And to the people who say " TH is subsidising us to the tune of 500k" "keeping us afloat" a week,month whatever....is this exclusive to PNE ? i know its all relative,and clubs have budgets to adhere to,but i never here this coming from the likes of .....WELL, ANY CLUB !!! Rochdale and Bury suvive on sub 3000 attendances,never a mention on how their owners keeping them afloat.The simple fact TH has the money,he could sign decent,experienced players for decent money....Not gambles who might be good in 3 years,this wont be any use when our star players,Pearson,Browne etc are off to pastures new and we are back to square one or worse.
 
In fairness to TH he has said on a number of occasions that he would step aside if someone else wanted to come in and take over and invest in the club.

To-date no-one has stepped forward ….. wonder why ?

It has been suggested that the asking price may be the problem?

Because he has a very high asking price. There is interest in the club.

TH himself said in the Post a while ago people come and ask every now and then and say they’re interested. Fact is you’re right, it would be too expensive for anyone to buy.

Exactly. We brought in millions with the Hugill and Cunningham sales - it's not unreasonable to expect SOME of that to be re-invested in the playing squad.

How many football clubs are owned by passionate fans...? I think you are slightly deluded here...

Why wouldn’t someone looking to buy ANYTHING want to pay the lowest price they can for it? Should he have paid the shareholders more so they could have bought better cars and houses? Unless you were one of those shareholders I see no other reason why anyone would begrudge getting the best value they can for a purchase...

‘Stopping PNE going under’ hardly inspiring stuff...

I won’t bother reading the rest of your bullshit post

You have to remember Roman Abramovich has a tattoo of Micky Droy on one arse cheek and Kerry Dixon on the other. Season ticket holder in The Shed in the 70's

Glazers never missed a match when Man U were in Division 2 in the 70's

John Henry, lifelong scouser

Sheikh Mansour, often seen in The Kippax back in the day

Passionate guys

Where would that be then? Conference North with Stockport and York or go into admin like Leicester and Bournemouth and established in the Premier League.

Noone can say for certain but Preston North End would still be playing professional football.

I have had it now with all this TH reverence. He has had plenty of value out of his relationship with PNE and screwed many supporters out of there shares to get where he has now.

Time for him to shit or get off the pot.

Of course we’d still be in existence & who knows where we’d be without him but I’d wager we’d be in a far worse position than we are now.

I have to agree with this despite being as frustrated to our start to the season as everyone else.

How can you be so confident in saying that?

Are you suggesting we'd be in a worse position if different owners were here who invest more?

No not really, just my opinion mate. Who knows?

We have to accept this is as good as it gets under the current regime as there’s not a chance he will loosen the purse strings to bankroll us to the Premier League.

100% mate. Was thinking this the other day actually...

It was clear that Grayson had taken us as far as he could. We needed a change of manager to push us forward, and even then a lot of fans were shitting themselves at the thought of change.

Why should this be any different with an owner? In my opinion, we need a new owner to get to the Premier League.

But he said .........

You’re right though , not going to happen. We can wrap it up as astute financial management or lack of ambition and all points between.

Many have already assumed , possibly correctly - the latter , and are reacting accordingly .
