    Nailed it. Discussions are better when they are objective and don’t have an agenda. too many here don’t want to listen to any view that isn’t partisan.

    It might read that way to you, but we really don't.

    Good analogy. I must admit I thought the same. There must be several things I have thought seriously about buying but then didn't. But still might do though.

    a bit like walking through the red light district in Amsterdam - you enjoy the window shopping make the mental choice of the one you want & remember you’re with the wife so go for a pint!

    Especially if the owner is a top arsehole.

    Why not have the discussion with me about what you suggest fans do though?

    Realistically they should turn up in numbers and flood the stadium again and get the cash flowing.
    We had 25k once. We should be pushing money into the club and making us rich enough to get back up there.

    But it won’t happen. I can see why It won’t and I can’t even argue the point realistically. We are too far down the estranged road to go back.
    It’s a proper mess. No one will win. I’f I could see a way out, I’d say. I can only see implosion and mediocrity. If we all turned up and filled the ground we’d bounce back.

    Catch 22. I have ditched my season ticket so that tells you how I see the future. It’s not just an owners thing, it’s a malaise. We have an irreconcilable issue between club and fans and it’s going to destroy us.

    That’s got **** all to do with a buying a football club. Totally different dynamic, different emotions, different purpose behind the sale and completely different Agenda.

    it’s not a comparable analogy in any way at all. Sound good, though. Logically it’s toss.

    As it has been said non of us really know what went on. All I can say is:

    Dai family bought Reading, they were accepted by EFL, so even though this guy Hang Tao was deemed unacceptable, Dai family said they would go ahead and buy us without him, and that was said to be rejected.

    So you have to ask the question, why are they acceptable to buy Reading but not us?

    P.S. I know with us it was with the EPL and Reading the EFL, but surely their criteria are more or less the same?

    I think that last line sums it up very well.

    It's the fans fault.

    We have a major issue between the owners and the fans. I don't believe people have fallen out with the club, other than those who would naturally drift away anyway as relegation bites. They have fallen out with the owners and the consequences of their poor management. The owners can rectify this by managing the club in a more structured way that is focused on future achievement as well as immediate savings - it isn't irreconcilable. If the owners don't act, they will damage the club more - but never destroy it.

    If only you had bought a ticket, turned up and cheered on the team we wouldn't have been relegated. **** of the month you are. All the months.

    In my view, the focus on trying to blame all the malaise on the Allams misses some very crucial points, and also weakens the argument when that blame turns out to be based on false assumptions.

    As one example, many stopped going because the matchday experience changed from what got them hooked in the first place. That's a general football, and perhaps even a society issue, but it's not one that should be ignored or overlooked or dumped in total on the current owners.
