Taff, sorry I don't care who sold the club, but when they signed they sold us down the river as many on here thought. there were those who said it was necessary to move on and look what it has got us. we could have gone to the championship and still be run and owned locally instead these money grabbing yanks will rape our club for all they can get.
TLF - actually, I think as usual we are on the same page. My point is that the Shareholders are (also) money-grabbers - they wanted out. They had a terrible fright last year when we flirted with relegation so wanted out ASAP - don't forget, the deal was announced, just as we were "safe".
Returning to the Championship under local ownership may/would have suited us - but not the Shareholders who wanted to monetise & realise their (huge) windfall.
Yes the Yanks want to make a "fast" buck - but they will be the ones out of pocket - not the Lineens, Katzens etc

. The only thing I can think of is that appointing Brad must be even cheaper than keeping Guidoin
