What do we realistically want from a chairman/owner
Cheslki?!Take advantage of your home country becoming a kleptocracy.
Accumulate huge wealth by plundering its natural assets.
Spunk some of your fortune on a football club leading them to a period of unheard of success.
Slink into the background without a murmer when your mentor and enabler starts an illegal war.
Do you mean staff or the actual grass, as DK loves investing in grass roots (as in the green bit, more turf than turf moor)To actually invest on the pitch.
I thought lesson 2 was text a sub?Lesson 2 don’t try and get players on the cheap
Ironically the one place we are investing well.To actually invest on the pitch.
Depends on who they are and how much dosh they have.Is it possible?

Lots of people just look at what is on the pitch. But the whole club is important, training facilities, infrastructure, commercial side everything.
One reason I didn't want us to win at Wembley, we just aren't ready for the next promotion, that massive step up. Our forum has highlighted all sorts of in the background problems
We need stability and growth over say 5 years then make the step. (Easier said than done I know). I personally feel promotion would have been a disaster.
I get what your saying and I’m sure I’d have soon tired of getting spanked in the Premier League every week but you surely didn’t turn up to Wembley thinking ‘I hope we get beat here’ ?Lots of people just look at what is on the pitch.

Neither did I and I would have taken promotion. But I still don t think it would have been right for us as our infrastructure isn't right after years of neglect.I get what your saying and I’m sure I’d have soon tired of getting spanked in the Premier League every week but you surely didn’t turn up to Wembley thinking ‘I hope we get beat here’ ?
Yes but the money from simply participating in the Prem even if it was just for one season would have sorted the infrastructure outNeither did I and I would have taken promotion. But I still don t think it would have been right for us as our infrastructure isn't right after years of neglect.
That's why Wigan, Bolton, Cardiff, WBA, Reading, Watford, Leeds, Blackpool are all in good shape?Nonsense you effectively get a £240 million hand out for 3 seasons - you can build infrastructure and do what you like with the money. Instead we have no money in a competitive league.
We are squabbling over Gyokeres 17m 20m 25 m that is nothing for a Prem player then all the extra wages. It really isn't the meal ticket people think, how many clubs get relegated showing a profit?Yes but the money from simply participating in the Prem even if it was just for one season would have sorted the infrastructure out
You get the impression that Luton are happy to go up, battle bravely against relegation and take the money to get their new stadium built - I do believe we’d have done similar with a training ground
Luton will probs go down but I think they’ll make a fist of it, I actually think it’ll be Sheff United who will be the whipping boys not themWe are squabbling over Gyokeres 17m 20m 25 m that is nothing for a Prem player then all the extra wages.

Luton looked more Prem ready as an 11 than we did.... Can't see them doing anything but struggle. But their home ground might unsettle a few big teams?
I want someone with shit loads of money and zero common sense.
And a pathological desire to win the champions league.

Maybe our infrastructure isn't ready, but that infrastructure takes a lot of money to put in place. Money we don't have, so that infrastructure almost certainly still won't be in place this year, next year or in five years.Put it this way. Championship 20m for Gyokeres spent wisely can give us a good team.
Prem and 20 m for Gyokeres buys you nothing. Extra revenue, our infrastructure is not geared up for extra revenue or to make most of it.
Money isn't there we would have to loan it and create debt. In current market I just see it as a disastrous and unenjoyable foray into the big time.
Sport is about equal competition, so happier where we are.
