imo i really doubt that investors would be put off regardless of who is managing our club.what makes our club attractive to investors is the fact that we are in the top ten biggest clubs in the world,a recognisable brand steeped in history and success.we have further potential to increase revenue through a new stadium which will double our revenue and put us on a par with the others.combine that with a few preseason trips to india,asia and the usa to raise profile and attract a new generation of support.we need the right people to come in and take us there.
i believe our current owners are the stumbling block for investors.who in there right mind would do buisness with these two.at the moment the rhone group is the only party with their cards out.their bid for 40% merely implies that they are happy to jump into the sack with h&g and not rock the boat.more of the same imo. since h&g have come aboard we have not progressed as a club or indeed a team and i doubt that will change as long as they remain.its rumoured that parties are interested in a full buy out which would be the best situation for us regardless of what cp thinks, as he is on record stating he'd prefer the rhone group's offer. he will gladly take this to achieve his goal of getting rbs there 100mil,pick up his bonus and be on his merry way leaving us still paddling in the shi,te with nothing more than an extra oar.
i feel a total buyout or incoming investors with a controlling stake of 51% is the way forward and let them decide who is the best man to take the team to the top!!
