Simple conclusion is no investment on what is required.....no promotion
Could be our only opportunity under Bielsa so we must get it right this time Gurj
I have no doubts it will be our only opportunity now under MB, no way will he stick around for a 3rd campaign in Championship should that scenario arise.
So yes, absolutely Leon, we have to go for it and by go for it, I am not advocating Ridsdale type crazy spending, just want us to bring 3 players with real quality to supplement what we have already.
That would be a worry if they need a bank loan to buy us. That's what the Glazers did at Man Utd and left them with huge debts, but we couldn't survive on the same level of debts as them. I never wanted them anyway, but certainly don't want them even more now.
The rich don't spend their own money, they borrow from others in the hope that whatever venture they need capital for turns a profit, then they pay back the principal and trouser the rest.

A QSI spokesperson states: "It's an opportunity, it's interesting and it's a big name in English football that we can help develop and bring back (in the Premier League); a very beautiful brand with which we can recreate a story."
Talks moving slowly but moving and have been underway for several months.
A QSI source doesnt deny that they value the club at between €60-80million (abound £50-70mil). Creates a problem given Radz has insisted he has invested £100mil or £90mil.

Fresh reports in France today.

What we need is management not buying dross and giving them lengthy overpaid contracts , not giving current players 4 year overpaid contracts, investing in a 25 a season striker who will get us up and then getting rid of the below average players and replacing with players who can hold their own in the PL. Billionaires can take over but ffp still applies in this crap league.
If we dont promote this season I think the only way for Bielsa be be around would be if we get them in.
Purely from a financial point of view the cupboard would be bare if we end up staying in this league.
I wonder how these talks would impact any investment during the transfer window.
If Radz knows he will be moving on why bother versus Radz investing a bit more knowing selling a Prem club is a vastly more profitable prospect.

As was recently said in a national newspaper when discussing rich middle east organisations buying up western sports interests with the goal of presenting a sanitised reputation to the rest of the world.
Let he who is without a lucrative Saudi arms deal cast the first stone.

Football Insider saying Radz only wants to sell a minority.
Not a surprise at all as he hasnt a hope of getting his money back while we are in the Championship and tbh we all know he would love the attention that would come with getting us promoted.
Hopefullya deal can be done because imo any chance of any funding in January relies on QSI as i cant see Radz or the 49ers coughing up.
Wouldn't be against Radz hanging on till the summer aslong as it isnt to the detriment of our progression.
Phil Hay has given an update on the QSI situation from the point of view of QSI . . .that's a first.
As expected, QSi value the club lower then Radz with Radz believing the club is worth £100mil plus (utter nonsense, Radz has done a good job commercially but £100mil for us in the 2nd tier, not a hope).
QSI do want any investment to lead to a majority takeover, Radz isn't willing to say whether he is open to selling but PH believes he is open to investment.
Nothing is moving quickly, clearly the two parties disagree on the value and that is a big hurdle.
QSI believe their are other interested parties (who will defo be paupers in comparison but may be more willing to bow to Radz valuation)
AR will want every penny back if he sells outright thats why he will remain and let more investors come in to see them get promoted . I think he'll go then with a handsome profit.
