UCF2008 0 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Technically, that's exactly what they're in it for!!!! A good, strong, healthy club = profit. So its in CG's best interests to ensure that the club is run properly & successfully. Why, because they said so!!!? A good, strong, healthy business = profit. That doesn't need be reflected by results on the field. Man Utd hadn't won the league in the 25 years leading up to it's flotation in '91. I hope I'm wrong, but I can see a vicious cost cutting exercise ahead of us over the next year. Additional investment will likely be brought in, but that along with fans cash will be placed and remain in the clubs bank account, while the squad is crippled. As soon as that cash at bank reaches the desired level and the accounts look rosey, the club will be floated on the stock market. Soon after, the club will be sold and the Green consortium will walk away with a healthy profit, leaving the squad rebuilding exercise to the new owners. Before anyone starts jumping down my throat I'll repeat I HOPE I'M WRONG 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 I was commenting on the OP's and gunslinger's remarks, not the article by McDonald. Thanks for clearing that up, so I would assume that my remarks on Mike McDonald were somehow inciting another 'anti-Green fan-fest' as you put it? Do you honestly, think this man McDonald's plans that he's been trumpeting about amount to any more than using our club for his own financial gain? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly, think this man McDonald's plans that he's been trumpeting about amount to any more than using our club for his own financial gain? Have you ever seen people making any sort of sizeable money out of football clubs of our size? Not least to mention clubs in our position? I always hear people telling us about the money SDM got out of Rangers ... but if you ask for plain hard facts, you get next to no reply. IMHO, people use the "businessmen are in for money only"-club indiscriminately ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, people use the "businessmen are in for money only"-club indiscriminately ... Generally I would agree with you on that. Football as a business isn't one that's easy to make money. I wouldn't even like to hazard a guess at how the money SDM put in and took out of Rangers balanced out. I've never tried. Green and McDonald on the other hand have as much as admitted to their plans amounting to using the club for their own financial gain. Don't get me wrong. If it all goes to plan, they'll walk away with a healthy profit from their venture and the club will be in pretty good shape. We'll have cash in the bank and we might even have some decent players that McDonald has purchased for us on his behalf. The problem is if it doesn't go to plan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
