Nudga.We've got 35 players in the first team squad!How much do you reckon that is costing Bramall?
The club has always been up for sale .For the right buyer.

I don’t see what changing ownership would do, we’re not gonna get anyone richer than Terry. We obviously haven’t got a bottom 3 budget, but somehow Grant and his team have used what budget they have to make us a bottom 3 team. Unless Terry has been the one taking training and signing all these useless players, I can’t see how he’s the problem.

Most clubs are up for sale, after all owning a loss making business isn't an ideal or attractive proposition for anybody.We do have some things going for us though, we're debt free, a decent stadium (no need to invest too much there), a community club which helps when attracting sponsors etc., and a business model that generates significant income. We just need to make sure that we don't attract sharks or asset strippers.And that's why TB has always said he would sell up if the right people came along, why wouldn't he? He doesn't need to massage his ego, he gets no direct benefit from owning the club, he doesn't run around telling everybody he's Chairman of a football club and enjoying the hospitality of the EFL, FA, etc at all their monthly shindigs.There are agents in football who deal in buying and selling of clubs, much like they deal with players, and of course we're on their radar (who isn't) but as yet nothing beyond casual enquiries. So, as TB said at the MTO, he doesn't need a financial partner, but that doesn't mean he'd turn one down if somebody offered.

We brought in a HoF to stop things like this happening. We had a great chance to change the ethos around the club, a great reset to use a bit of a cliche. We blew it. We were so close to implementing a structure that could have worked for us and we gave the job to the wrong man. Even after that, we had to keep faith with the plan and find the right man. Scrapping that structure all together yet another sign of lurching from one disaster to another. I agree with Nuga. Bramall has to go if a credible bidder comes in. Pretty sure Blunt will want some £ out of the club though which will put a cloud over any asking price.
Maybe it does need a change in owner to just come in and shake things up off the pitch. A fair few people need to go and that’s before we get to the players where pretty much to a man we want shot of them. A new owner might be attracted that we are rock bottom and in theory their money will go further.
