We’ve never really cracked loans I don’t think, certainly from an outgoing perspective. Can’t remember many of our youth team products having successful loan spells.

Genuine question - what type of owner would you want? It seems apparent you’re not interested in self-sufficiency, and have mentioned on multiple occasions that you take issue with current owners not investing but equally that there’s little means to grow our turnover. Also seems a sheikh-type...
