I get the impression that the Doctor wants the 'investment' money to help prop up his other interests as I cannot see anything wrong with the 'strict guidelines' imposed by the American Group.I believe the good Doctor is down in London today for eight hours of 'talks', goodness knows what about, satisfying the EFL that we can fulfill the season fixtures perhaps?

Just what is Xia hanging on for?? If he takes us any further towards the financial abyss he will come out with nothing.I fail to believe he is waiting for the right buyer for the club ....we have certainly been hoodwinked by Lerner and now Xia. There needs to be revolutionary change in the way the club is run -the money that has been squandered is scandalous. Furthermore we need a progressive manager pretty sharpish as for me Bruce has clearly had his day.....let's hope the right person or consortium is out there and that the current owner sells up - some investigative journalism from the Birmingham Mail would be a change - to ascertain just why Xia is over here and has he shown his face at B6

Lerner definitely tried to hoodwink the fans in my opinion. People on here were questioning the big year-on-year losses and were told not to worry our pretty little heads about it, that it was all part of the plan.
That sounds yabout fair.
Do we actually have a pitch to play on yet?
