I wouldn't invest in Everton either (I know I'm biased). They are not going to compete with the big boys but will expect major finance injected with little chance of reward or success. I guess financially its probably less of a risk as they are unlikely to get relegated, but equally difficult to make a return which as non-fans they would be looking for.
On the other hand a Championship team that gets promoted and reaps Premiership rewards could be wotrh a gamble, with lower excpectations once they arrive in the top flight. However, I woudln't be looking at one that has large debt, no ground ownership or indeed any real assets and one that is traditionally a low achiever with a disgruntled and scarce fan-base.
Still there is always hope
No ground ownership & being a low achiever didn't stop the Arabs taking over Manchester City and pumping multi-millions in. And they don't have the option of buying even half of the ground.I wouldn't invest in Everton either (I know I'm biased).

I may be pretty biased, but if if I was that loaded, I'd invest in a club like City just for the excitement of getting them up to the Premiership & making a success of that. There's little point (in my view) to taking over a club with all the advantages (Chelsea, Liverpool, Manure) - but transforming a smaller club into a big one is something that would give me a real sense of achievement.
Let's just hope Gary Hoffman's investors feel the same!
Wtf is your problem? Jesus if we're "doomed to failure" then why turn up... :facepalm:i wouldnt touch city wth a bargepole if I was an investor.
Doomed to failure,
sad but true
Like the get shitsu out banner, but the idea sounds good but the Higgs trust & or council will never sell a share of the stadium to a private company that does not own CCFCIs it possible that Hoff and his chinky pals buy the Ricoh without owning the Club? They may then have a stronger hand in forcing :blue:? I don't see why this isn't a possibility tbh?
