Why would someone take the effort to type the above, but say they're happy about it without moving on to rip into the board ?

Gotta admit that Tony Fernandes fella(Tune Group/Air Asia/Lotus F1 team owner) has got the potential to be worth a lot more than present, but sadly for us he's an big WH fan. Meh!
yeah, but sadly it sums up the board so well,were as yours, just sums you up really

For all their failings and the fact they raise a good laugh from everyone, the Bongo Dwarves do know how to run a football club. Birmingham was left in a very healthy position before Yeung came and fecked it up. Can't see them selling out, especially not on the cheap, and extra especially given the lovely new stadium West Ham are due to take a lease on in 2013 or 2014. Seats=Revenue=Profit. They'll need to be back in the top flight, granted.
Ownership doesn't mean a great deal as no-one beside the certifiably insane will sink their own personal worth into a football club. It's an absolute money pit feeding the ingrates who *shudders* are earning millions and their parasitic agents. As mentioned to the point of exhaustion if a new owner has the nous to make the most of an underperforming commercial beast then they're the right men for the job. This has to be coupled with the awareness that loading the club with debt to finance new signings to gain one or two places in the league for the benefit of one or two million of extra TV revenue doesn't really add up long term.
It pains me to say it again, but the Sports Fund model - as seen across the park, strikes me as the most beneficial ownership model. A sale to a high net worth individual is just going to lead to a protracted spell of pass the parcel....unless it's Kenwright's Mr. Right.

Because Jack Rodwell is not and should never ever be worth £30m.
Give Moyesy that, and we can sign 4-5 decent players. Or is that not good enough for you?

One EBEPTONIAN is worth 20 no status no optimisms
but is not the real problem that we are being run by someone who is passionate, but by his own admission, financially unable to move us forward. lacking financial clout is forgivable, lacking in forward planning and being incompetant, well, thats not.
as i have said time and again, we do not need a billionaire, just someone with a workable plan to move us forward, a liitle cash would be an asset to though.

My friend, I think we are finally after pages and pages of debate getting close to an agreement
If we need to point fingers at the man charged with the responsibility for being unable to financially move us forward and form a lynch mob with flaming torches then Mr Elstone is the source of your ire. I've got my horse saddled up and ready! The CEO, not the board are responsible for the running of the commercial aspect of the club; the day-to-day.
The frustration for us 'Kenrighters' is that we know our Chairman has identified he can't progress the club personally, and we know his cronies (or his sharefund; however you address it) on the board are neither inclined to, nor care to 'speculate to accumulate'. It's just that we can't see the benefit of a quick sale to the wrong person/people/entity to appease some.
I simply believe his stance that he is trying to sell the club, to the right buyer to ensure we're not left up **** creek in the short term. Not, as other may think, that he is holding out for a gazillion pounds of profit, or isn't trying to sell, or is just milking every available pound he can to line his pockets. It's a do you believe him or not question for me. And I do.
Self sustainability for football clubs is unachievable I'm afraid. The oft cited Arsenal model is flawed and still requires the sale of playing assets (only a trifling £20m per annum) to ensure they break even. I'm as frustrated as the next man that we're not maximising our potential, but understand that I would be MUCH more frustrated if some tin pot prat took ownership and led us down the path of some of our esteemed peers.

ohh, so close. we have had how many CEOs in BKs reign? do we blame all of them?for me the business plan should come from the top, how its implemented may be down to the CEO, this is why i direct my ire at the board mostly. several businessmen, very experienced in different fields, yet not ONE successful business plan, we are generating little more than ten years ago compared to our competitors. maybe its the egos involved, maybe the passion gets in the way of the planning, for whatever reason, they have failed time and again. this is why i have little faith in them to actually bring the "right man" for the club anyway.
