Did you go to the real match today Wooperts? The great World famous Devon Derby (well if you listen to some of the postings on local football chat site that's what they think it is). If you are desperate for a cat to kick there are two in the house next to mine which continually crap in my garden. Please feel free.
Steve Lansdown was a Bristol City fan before he bought the club. The PST and the club both know that investment is needed by the Championship but will be very wary of any new investor. And the big problem will be new investment, new money into the club, not buying out any of the shareholders as that won't bring in new money. Can you envisage someone wanting to invest and not having control? No, nor can I. There is also the problem of the stadium needing to be redeveloped. That's going to take a big chunk of finance just for starters. I know the PST and the HNW fans are working hard at looking at ways to get new finance in. Takes a while for plans to be made though.
There is also the local cat that brought me a little present a couple of weeks ago, you can kick that too - damn mouse is still running around in my house.
