Ah right, I'm with you.

Maybe he fancies a new big challenge!

I don't want us to get a sugar daddy like Ken Davey, i would much rather we got somebody who wants the best for the club and is willing to put money in but not waste it. Iwould be happy if the new backer puts enogh money in which will allow us to keep our best players so we don't have to sell them to raise money to keep the club in business or pay off our tax bills.

I don't think we can be choosy.

It's a simple rule:

Money = Good
No money = bad

I'm shaking my head in disbelief!!

Why the heck would you not want a wealthy backer? A backer who has run a club successfully before, kept the finances in order and obviosuly loves his sport?

Does he have any connections with York Court Properties?

If any of this 'new backer' news is true then I'm as happy as 'Larry!'

Will do some digging.........

I do want a wealthy backer but what i am sying is that i dont just want whoever it is to put millions in meaning that we loose the soul of the club.

I want us to use whatever money we get wisely invest it in the future of the club and not just wasing it on ageing aussies and past superstars.

I'm sure we'll be like pocket change to Dave Whelan. So it's probable he consider's us a hobbie. We've sold BV, with the funds going towards NM. I'm not entirely sure we'd be worth much, and with NM on the horizon now is a good time to get on board!

maybe your source stayed up late and watched "this sporting life" and mistook mr. weaver for mr. whelan?

Doesn't put up with slackers!!!!

So, not what we do now then?

I don't care who puts money into the club on the proviso that :-

1) They really do have the money (this time) &
2) They have a genuine desire to take the club forward
