Newcastle hasnt gone tits up tho. Everybody thinks takeovers are EVIL and I admit some of are not great, but even Ashley at Newcastle paid all the debts off and is selling the Club at a loss. Hardly a bad thing.

As you say, its mainly down to bad management that clubs get screwed.

Yeah, they aint gone tits up but as a "big club" they're now going to struggle in the championship. It aint administration but its not what any club wants.

Sir Terry i think this thread is referring to.

The model we use is quite similar to Arsenals, they are just about eight years ahead of us in development- the only difference is debt and turnover, in many ways they are in worse financial situation then us.

Although this is the model we will look to follow IMO. I like it has to be said.

Thats what I think and I believe its the right way to do things.

That's right, Sir Terry Cokcmuncher.

Yeh Dave, a true bin lid.

Without any serious money coming in we will never, never break into the Champions League again. We just do not have the resources in depth. The FA Cup demonstrated that when we were shown the exit by Chelsea.

It's hard to avoid drawing that conclusion. It was an unbelievable achievement just getting to the qualifying round.

It is very hard in the modern game to not have backing to climb the ladder. But while having one arm tied behind your back it's not impossible but highly improbable. That has been a major concern with Sepp Blatter recently with the big four Prem teams.

Complete joke, mate. I think someone's upset. Dear me. Train sets getting clutched I reckon.

But who's to say they'd pull out if the team is successful?

We're all not bothered about a rich Arab with trillions to spend but at least someone that can give Moyes a comfortable budget every season so he doesnt have to sell any key player or have to get people to scrape cash together at the last minute.

Ok, maybe I ought to moderate my stance a little. I don't a Roman mark II or a sheikh like City's sugar daddy. No sympathy for the game..

Nor a hicks/gilette combo - shudder....

But I'll buy into another Randy Lerner - seems to understand what he's bought into...

reckons it's good for Everton to be small, trophyless but content.

Villa have won what? Villa have sold anyone particular? Lets see Villa compete this season with supposed heavy weights city and perennial big spenders spurs allegedly being the next big force in the prem.
We built fourth place on hard graft, commitment ,tactics, and an empty physio room. Lets see some of the fancy Dans like John 'lap dancing clubs' Carew fit into that. Or better yet Bellers.
In spite of, not because we bowed down and grovelled.

Think Villas finances are after going belly up myself.

Eh? Who's arsed about Villa?

I raised the subject of Villa because I'd rather have a Randy Lerner-type investor who understands the background of the club and the local area than a billionaire who wants a new toy. Not commenting on their history or comparing them to us. I'd just rather their model of growth than chelsea's or City's.
