Imagine going from the highs of promotion to this catastrophe in such a short space of time.
I feel for those fans.
I don’t think anyone has called for that to happen as you describe it above by the way. Oh and as and when the club eventually changes hands, and it will one day, Gibson himself will decide the way that eventually happens and to whom the reins are handed over to.Yeah but our club is rotten to the core under Gibson, and he needs to sell up to the first Billy Billionaire who comes along - that way we're guaranteed to be the next Man City, no danger of a doyle like this buying us of course.
I love how people single out cases like this to prove their point but then completely ignoring the fact that almost every club above us in both the championship and the prem have foreign investment.I don’t think anyone has called for that to happen as you describe it above by the way.

But that makes no sense though as my point is that just because it’s gone pear shaped at sheff wed doesn’t prove anything.It's almost like it's a lottery rather than a guaranteed route to success, which was my point.
I love the way people also ignore the clubs below us who have foreign investment and have struggled with ownership issues to make their point.
You can’t ask for 2 million pound from the fans and then slag them off at the same time. He does stuff like this every month. He’s an absolute waste of space. I really sorry for their fans.To be fair, £100 each isn't much for a lot of people to save their club. If it's cashflow then no probs really. If this was Boro someone would start a collection and the money would be raised. Then you need to make it all legal and documented. Someone like the old Adi Dem who was a lawyer I think could have done that.
There are a lot of words in his interview but the basic fact - they need £2m sharpish is quite simple.
How will the fans react? Probably boycott games or throw more tennis balls or something. But they could actually do something constructive to see if he is true to his word.

Coluka is right btw we are the anomaly now.
We'd be alright, a couple of the lads on here could sell their EVs to cover the tax bill, no problems.

But for every chansiri there’s an oyston or even a Mel morrisOf course it proves something, it proves that getting a rich foreign inestor is not the path to success that some claim when calling for Gibson to sell up.

Being foreign isn’t the issue being dodgy though is.
It was before covid that Gibson first called out Chansiri and the Wednesday owner's exceptionally questionable financial irregularities. Boro came under a lot of fire for trying to get Sheff Wed and Derby investigated but ultimately we were proven right they were cheating the Championship, football and their own fans. Both clubs were sanctioned and relegated. Chansiri is a walking timebomb for football.Yeah but our club is rotten to the core under Gibson, and he needs to sell up to the first Billy Billionaire who comes along - that way we're guaranteed to be the next Man City, no danger of a doyle like this buying us of course.
The issue is about people as well as money. Football has had loads of examples of good and bad owners, both foreign and UK, we should know that as well as any club, it has also had examples of terrific foreign owners as well as UK ones. The issue is about due diligence and trust as well as money. However it is true that some owners that sell only look at the money, where more responsible owners should look at the buyer too.I love how people single out cases like this to prove their point but then completely ignoring the fact that almost every club above us in both the championship and the prem have foreign investment.
