Former players are also saying the Yanks need to sell up, as they are supported by a Hedge Fund and appear to be looking for at least a partial return on their 'business' investment
Falling out of the Premier League was not part of the initial plan and it has hit them hard; although a sale in $'s in the current poor £ exchange markets could soften the blow somewhat, shoukd they decide to cash in
Russell Martin has been told he has to sell before he can bring new players in and he doesn't even have the budget for a loan. Indeed, he has been told to 'develop assets to sell' rather than building for the future
Sound familiar? It smacks of us a year or so ago and we know how that went
The difference between us and them is the type of ownership and whilst Vincent Tan has made mistakes (for me and my friend the failure to appoint a proper Director of Football one of the biggest), I'd rather have him and Steve Morison right now than a Hedge Fund and Russell Martin
Long may they (the Hedge Fund and Russ) continue down the M4 West; it keeps the fairweather rabble quiet...

Could the exchange rate count against them though? If the base currency of the fund is in US
Dollars and they invested in £, selling in £ now and translating back into USD will see them get even less of a return?
Don’t really care either way and as posted above the way we are in derbies they’ll probably beat us again since they’ve turned into a proper bogey team![]()

I’d be happy for them to do the ‘Doube’ over us if it meant us getting into playoffs.

Well it looks like they've literally sold their soul to one of the worst possible owners, a yank hedge fund who made a bad bet and now want to recover some of their losses. They moan they want the yanks out but will do zero about it, at least we protested until we got our colours back. We are in a much better place than them and building for the future. They don't even own the rusty stadium they visit while wearing their pikey Joma kit.
Will they beat is again? Maybe. It will take me a few days to get over it but they'll have to endure their dire situation for a lot longer. Once a model PL club and now completely tinpot, and a rusty one at that.

Sadly they've got memories I can only dream of as a Cardiff city supporter 7 years in the premier League and a major trophy in the cabinet.

Their only 'ambition' is a two-game season that has a social effect on anyone wearing white and black within a 10 mile radius of The Library...
