    He's worth over 6 billion, he could buy us tomorrow while he waits for someone to buy Monaco

    Are Russian owners even allowed in this country? Abramovich was forced out as he not?

    Would be strange KLD selling already. And if he did do we start with a new 'model'?

    Because of his connections to Putin.

    Rybolovlev has always distanced himself from Putin et al. and also hasn't been sanctioned by the EU or US, as far as I'm aware. So that would likely allow him to purchase us.

    Wouldn't have to be a start from scratch. The basics of it are all in place

    His time here has been wonderful imo, I'd be very sad to see him go.

    Sadly KLD has become poison to some of the noisiest supporters who are campaigning to get him out ...

    ... he might see this as the easiest way out.

    He's not subject to EU or US sanctions. Don't know if UK sanctions are consistent with those.

    I can't see KLD letting go just yet. Unless recent events have led to it. Mind it's a bit concerning when posters of repute unlike myself are saying things aren't quite right

    Despite a couple of recent **** ups and a current feeling of negativity by most, the club has been the most professional it has ever been since he came in. A huge turnaround to get us to no longer be a retirement village where players come to take the piss!

    It works and is successful, may need the odd tweak but I don't think it needs or warrants completely binning off.

    Most clubs are data driven these days anyway

    The model would work with a bit more investment and a tweak over resale value of players. If indeed there is one

    Everything is there. They just need to be far more pragmatic.

    Ideal would be someone to come in alongside KLD stick with the data driven side even the young players for re-sale value but have 2-3 players in the team that cost what would be considered good money in this league. Striker needs to be someone with experience and maybe defensive midfielder?
