    Have the biscuits arrived for the board meeting yet?
    I'm hoping for a five o'clock announcement.

    If he shuns investment,and his new appointee fails,meaning we've another season in this league after this one to look forward to,rock bottom will be the ceiling of his stock!! It will be catastrophic failure.

    You eventually may be right,but I think we have to see who the new manager is and where this takeover/investment ends up before making a judgement about it.
    At the present,we don't know the outcome of either. It's my belief he was only prepared to give Ross a quarter of the season to achieve major improvement and I'd be surprised if any talks about future investment influenced him in that.

    I doubt much else but making a quid occupied his every waking minute.
    I'm not knocking him for that.
    I just never copped that guff that 'he got us', he wanted the best for us, etc. etc
    I acknowledge if the club does well he does well and that is as far as it goes.
    Sadly at the top end football attracts the shadiest of the shady due to money.
    This club may be on its uppers right now but it has some good assets, a good brand name and good cash flow.
    I hope I am wrong. But something is just not adding up.

    Is obvious now with the appointment of a garbage manager that the investment is limited? If any?

    Roger, on the other site reckons another three people have rocked up at the meeting, claims they were on a private jet.
