    Should we get Sullivan and Gold to take us over? You may like them as they are English.

    Bad isn't it, I love to criticise the rise of the likes of City and Monaco. But one mention of this and I'm utterly creaming myself at the prospect of the transfer windows to end all transfer windows. ****ing hypocrite! :1980_boogie_down:

    Maybe Cortese's change to the red kit to appeal to the Asian market thing is true after all... <laugh>

    I really don't want this to happen. We've had Billionaire owners and still managed to hold onto some of our identity. I do not wish us to become a Man City or a Chelsea.

    If this comes off, I just hope we don't go crazy. I mean we shouldn't go spending much more than £100 million in each transfer window, or building a stadium bigger than 50 or 60,000 seats, or we'll have all sorts of envious rotters from other clubs coming on this board giving us stick.

    Well there's nothing to say that we'd go on a mad City-esque spending spree, particularly if Nicola is involved. I get what you're saying though.

    Lol. We shouldn't take the piss, Messi or Ronaldo, not both.

    Seriously though, whatever happens needs sorting by the end of the season, heading into the summer window without clear direction would be a disaster.

    Let's do a test....

    Hello Sun journalists. See the Mirror have beaten you to this, and I'm sure you'll run your own story. How about this headline -

    On a Wang and a Prayer

    You can have it for free.

    So how much of our soul would we sell for this lot to come in?

    The kit? Stadium name? Our name? The badge?

    (please don't hurt me cbk I'm only speculating).

    Wang is heck of a lot more profile than Carson Yeung.
