When considering investment and new owners should we not take account of whether (for example) a bunch of people who run an energy company would actually have the expertise to run a football club. Does only money matter? I believe that some US investors in British clubs have owned sports franchises in the States, so they would have a good starting point.Obviously they would hire football people to manage and coach etc., but investment and spending decisions sit above that operation and it is surely a considerable challenge. Indeed some newcomers may well have come unstuck simply because they lacked that expertise.
We need investment but not at any cost, we have good owners, it could be much worse.

Serious question what would you like to happen with the club realisticallyOne of two options.

They've said it numerous times at open events where press were present and reported it, so it's information that's in the public domain. JRs attempts courted plenty of attention in the press.

Yes, we all have a choice so it's up to you.The grim reality is. No investment=no decent signings=more boring football= attendances will drop, season ticket sales will drop = no longer sustainable.But hey if your happy with that bully for you.It will remain sustainable, at a level based on how much fans wish to commit.
