Yes have to agree with this...those people thinking some rich consortium will buy us are dilluding themselves as that ship has well sailed more chance of the titanic sailing than that happening. I am no great lover of FSG as they put profit before success on the pitch, don't blame them as if I was buying into a sport I couldn't care less about I would probably do the same...the problem is if they did sell we are only going to replace with like for like so what's the point..
The sad thing about it all is our position as the sixth best Club is under serious threat, we have Spurs moving into a state of art new stadium next season, Everton due to move to a 60k seater stadium and the likes of Newcastle reported over the weekend to be taken over imminently by foreign investors, I think the gap between us and the clubs just below isn't as big as people think which they base it purely on historic values so any serious investment in Stoke, West Ham, West Brom or Southampton could easily lead to them overtaking us...not even going to mention if Leeds, Villa or Sheff Wed got sugar daddies...just an opinion I have... Building a brand new stadium doesn't make you richer unless you are getting it for free. Newcastle had a bigger stadium than us for a long time, didn't help them to stay in the EPL

They just got it for free, if they can fill it, it will make a huge difference that would allow them to move up quickly.

Well the story goes if they never bought City it was going to be Everton...Imagine that...we would really see some unhappy posters then...will be interesting to see How Everton go over the next few seasons especially with there new stadium...see how it pans out for them. I think they will fill 60k if they get the ticketing pricing right...especially with them cornering the local fanbase...

And how are they going to finance the new stadium which i understood won't have more than 50k seats

They also become an interesting prospect for a takeover as they got a huge asset for free, or rather paid by the taxpayers If they get bought by a sugar daddy then maybe they can attract the players that will improve them. But as it stands, just the stadium isn't and won't help them.
