Only problem is I don’t think we can trust him to sell to anyone any better

This will delay all transfers and throw confusion on who is doing the buying.

I'd have thought that's the least of our worries, finding out how deep the shit is may be further up the list as well as who owes who and how much and by when.

So he's desperate for money but is rejecting buy-out bids.

Interpreting that for a second it looks more like he's determined to hold on to the club and seek investment (49% or less) rather than sell outright.

Or losing control = embarrassment, so sale the only option?

His reputation is already on it's arse.  He just needs to sell up and do one.

Suppose the good thing about new ownership is we will still be restricted by FFP so any new ownership won't come in and waste 50m straightaway. We will need to develop a long term plan. Whether likes of Steve Round and Bruce are in that plan remains to be seen.

Aren't new owners given a little bit of slack in terms of FFP?

Plus the Grealish money could possibly be used as a transfer kitty.

I don't really know chap but I doubt the 40m we have to make up for overspending last year is going to magically disappear.

We've failed anyway with our short term boom and bust policy so next ownership needs to give funds for promising young players from lower leagues, insist on more under 23 players promoted into 18 and keep a few older heads for experience.

Think that's our best chance of developing more sustainable team not just for this level but the premier league.

Probably not the right thread for this but my argument for keeping Bruce is that we have a good spirit at the club (at team level)  If we keep the nucleus of the squad together, I think we should be OK.  Central defence is a problem and we need to bring someone in, also possibly an experienced GK.  Other than that, I think we're OK with what we have and if and when Grealish goes, we have an ideal opportunity to revert back to 433 which I think works well and suits our players.  If I was being greedy, Grabban on loan for another season would be nice, with Albert & Kodjia either side of him.

I can't find anything to confirm this. But then it is quite hard to sift through the reams without my eyes glazing over.
