Well said. Where would the fun be in rovers going pop. Won't happen and you'll be in SL next season but I can't see someone really wealthy stepping in

Some fair points made in between the bitching.
Why would a non fan invest? Balance that with why did koukash (sp) invest in salford. Would it be an ego thing for someone who cant afford a footy team.
Allam is a possible I suppose in a philanthopist kind of way.
Bottom line is no one is going to make much out of rugby. Pearsons only way would be a modestprofit or even loss year on year and if he gets success then he'd sell at a profit or maybe its a hobby he enjoys and can afford it.

Er excuse me I don't do that kind of thing ta very much

Gosh a sensible post. I assume most sports owners are in for the ego trip - good luck to them. They certainly aren't in for the money because with one or two notable exceptions sports teams never make any. That doesn't mean you have to throw cash away recklessly though and its quite possible to view a managed loss as justifiable entertain expense. To this end I believe RL offers more bang for your buck compared to lower division football in terms of possible trophy winning and its attendant local hero status - something I suspect Person thinks as well.

As for Allam, wouldn't trust the man at all and doubt his real agenda is at all philanthropic.

I agree but the man is minted, local, knows our chairman, already has a substantial sum ‘invested’ in the team, states philanthropic interests in the city’s sporting teams and may even have an agenda against FC’s chairman

With a severe lack of people who tick many of those boxes then he’d be hard man to turn down if he came knocking.

I agree, but I can't get past his having plenty on his plate at City. Plus nh has said 'we' are replaying the Allams' loan.

Didn't realise they'd filmed it.

You're new, but you're not new new are you?

Would this tie up with NH saying depending on the buyer he may retain his place as chairman (not sure he said those words but it was something like that)

Not new new, no.

Hmm, well, you seem like an alright sort of chap, welcome back aboard.

Not that it's my place to welcome you, not my ship is it? No.

Hey [ured[/u, I think it's more likely that uncle kath was milking the club dry. I don't think there's any evidence she was falsifying the accounts - if you have any evidence please post it for us.

Pearson won't get bored until he can get his cash back plus some profit, unlike hudge who is obviously fed up of propping up your tiny club

Never, why? Are you still pretending that your fictitious break even figure is real?

How long has hudge been propping our tiny club up for and how long has Pearson been at the helm lets just see who does/has/is going to last the longest

However, with much more investment still needed, Pearson says the club must get back towards the peak of 2007 – when the club averaged more than 14,500 fans – to balance the books.

From the horses mouth.

How much has he invested so far and how do you think he will get it back?

Try and use fact and figures. Stops you looking daft.

But then I might look completely stupid like you

Come on answer the question

You've spent too much time overseas my little navy chum. Have a look at a dictionary and come back with a definition of the word towards because no matter how many time you post that link it still won't say what you desperately wish it did

Don't have a clue and he'll get back more than he spends.

He has an exceptional track record in making money out of buying and selling sporting clubs

Well if they can lose £250,000 on averages of nearly 13,000 in 2011 I would say
the figure is about right.

I would say that you're obviously not very financially savvy otherwise you'd know that without sight of the full accounts no one has the faintest idea how the loss is made up and therefore how many fans are required to break even.

Now if you want to come back with some detail of this £250k loss, including which exceptional items were included in the accounts that year, then maybe w can have a meaningful discussion about it

Paid in the region of £2.5 million for the club

Inherited a £750,000 tax bill and lost £750,000 in 2 seasons

So he is owed about £4 million by the looks of things and needing 14,500 to balance the books.

Haha I think you just owned jake

To be honest I thought he would have put up a bit of a fight.
