you've been saying this for years though, yet still they are here.
For two obvious reasons: 1) the timespan is too short for any significantly profitable exit. 2) the opportune moment hasn't yet materialised for them. These things take time and unfortunately can often take longer than either we or they would wish, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're here for five to ten more years, all we or they can hope for is that it comes mercifully sooner, for both parties.
Yes but if they are hear for another 10 years, then they are hardly short term owners are they? They will have been in charge for 15 years and will have improved the standing of the club by increasing revenue, redoveloping the stadium and surrounding area and hopefully, most importantly by having us as a competitive team challenging on all fronts.
If that turns out to be the case, i don't understand how they can be viewed as short term owners, bad owners or penny pinching yanks as some put it.
I mean realistacally, if thy stay for 15 years, that's hardly short term. Strong rumours going aropund taht they recently (within the last 2 months) turned down a takeover bid. That means they weren't willing to sell. I am sure they won't sell until the stadium work is completed anyway, but I mean, it's not like they are actively looking to sell then either.
Yes everything is always for sale, at the right price, but there is a huge difference between actively looking to sell and considering an offer which may be too good to turn down.
