The Prince interview part 1

We should be a production line, that should be our aim. Right now we are piss poor at it, Id much rather be competing on merit than competing on a borrowed buck. The day we sign a player we should start scouting his younger replacement

Sign a player for £10m sell for £50m 12-24 months later have his replacement who will be better ready to sign for £15m.

See Atalanta, Dortmund and Brighton as examples

Atalanta to Man Utd in the past 3 season

Diallo £30m
Hojlund £65m
Scalvini £40m

More waffle and hot air from the Best Owner Ever. I stopped paying attention to his nonsense a long time ago.

We don't need a billionaire to come in and buy the club. We just need someone who is vaguely competent at running a football club. I wonder if any other owner in the 92 would let half of the playing staff enter the last six months of their contract?

Can you realistically think of anyone who is interested in buying the club?

Were you a big fan of him? Didnt look like it when you were busy posting in here during McCabe's years.

The club assets being broken up and put under the ownership of his property group or whatever companies he shuffled assets to.

We bemoan PA for not having the cash to take us forward but it was the same if not worse under McCabe. As the club took the impact of the 07/08 property crash on the back of his property business and we started to "cut cloth accordingly" when in reality he was having to cut his cloth in his businesses and SUFC would need to suffer as well. Couple that with the parachute/Tevez money he allowed Robson to piss away.

Then not long after we find ourselves in League 1 for years.
