Not going to lie. Those articles gave me movement in my loins. Thanks Berneboy for expanding on that link for me. They both have immense and verified wealth and haven’t bought us to arse around in the Championship. I reckon Bruce could be toast next week, and if not next week soon after the season starts if we are not off to a hot start.

We need ruthless owners who want to win. The Man City approach being discussed earlier is what we need, a mix of smart people being brought in to run us like a proper business. Right people in the required roles; a defined strategy with well thought through tactics.

Whisper it but I reckon this lot will be alright.

Bruce is going nowhere mind.

They want to run it as a business with a bit of speculate to accumulate in the event of promotion (whilst using their contacts to give us the best chance of going up). I can live with that.

Do you know their thoughts on infrastructure and/or the youth system Chelts? I believe that kind of spending is exempt from FFP.

Who knows? I do know Xia could have sold us off entirely for a few quid in his pocket but didn't because he wanted to work with people to take the club forwards. I take that as a positive.

Not a Scooby. On detailed plans anyway. They want us to be self sufficient but cleverer on maximising our commercial opportunities. The kids should be the heartbeat of that is very much the view though.

The Yank is genuinely agog at the potential to develop your own players (and from across the world) and has been itching to get involved with sorting an Academy model that does just that, for a long time.

From what I've been reading about Sawiris and Edens, they and Bruce don't seem like a match. Losing a manager so close to the season's kickoff is not ideal as we found out to our cost with that prat MON. I want Bruce gone but I can see the new owners starting the new season with him to minimise disruption. 6 games is all I'd give him and if he starts slowly again I would expect our new owners to do what Xia should have done last season and bin him.

How would getting rid of him 6 games in be less disruptive than getting rid of him now?!

I wouldn't get rid of him. There's no point. If we were to have, the time would have been just before 7pm on 26th May.

Depends on their plans and the timeframe they have in mind I suppose.  If they see promotion as a realistic target for the coming season, then I can see the logic in keeping Bruce in place and seeing how he does.  If there is a longer term plan in place for promotion and this season is viewed as an opportunity to start putting things in place, then I suppose it could be argued that it wouldn't matter too much if Bruce went now really.

I always think it's unfair to give a manager a few games then sack him, but in this case, we won't be ready for the season if we sack him now, so I would let him start the season and then boot him out at a time to suit us unless he makes himself unsackable. Edit - Presuming we can afford to without falling foul of FFP.

It would be as disruptive but it would give them around 2 months to assess the right appointment. With the season start being so close, the availability  issue is probably the same. You would like to think that money will talk in being able to get the right manager during the season. The most important thing is to get the right manager that fits with the plan, however long it takes. They should be assessing it from now.

I think we should stick with Bruce for now with time so short to the big kick-off. A terrible close season after Wembley. Xia just about saved the club in time with the new investors. The guy is a gambler. If they change Manager, Dean Smith would be a better choice than Thierry Henry. At least he knows this league.
