If you actually think about it should ED write off the debt as promised then surely Wanderers has to be a fantastic buy for anyone seriously looking to get into football. With one of the best grounds, training facilities and an attached hotel surely we are underestimating our worth thinking nobody of any quality would buy us. We also have a long and proud history for what that's worth . I would honestly have thought with debt wiped out it's a no brainer for a serious buyer.

We also have a long and proud history for what that's worth . I would honestly have thought with debt wiped out it's a no brainer for a serious buyer. Think this is whats adding to the confusion to be honest. Who owns what and what Eddie is prepared to get rid of and what he wants to keep/charge for? I can't imagine that £15M quoted would get you the who shebang. We're currently losing £1m a month approx(not sure how much of that would be interest to Davies) I can't see us playing Premiership football but 3 seasons minimum and thats very optimistic. That's £36M in 3 years without giving the manager any funds. Does anyone really want to run a football club at that cost to be in relegation battle? When Phil Gartside was going off to Thailand it was obvious that was the time to sell. They probably knew that. They could have tempted investors with the chance of £100M a season if we're promoted. Whether Phil cocked it all up or whether Eddie Davies didn't have the same stance on the debt I don't know. Like in any business, knowing when to buy and sell is key. They should have got out/seeked investment when Gartside was giving it "not sure we can afford Europe" Sam.

I think the thing really went pear shaped when he tasked Owen Coyle with reducing costs but without getting relegated. He got it hopelessly wrong and since then it's been all down hill. Instead of getting rid of high earners he should have been keeping the key players and getting rid of the also rans. Same with Freedman, instead of signing lot's of no marks he should have given him a set budget which if Freedman wanted to blow on just one or two layers of quality he should have been able to. Exactly the same has happened with Lenny, lots of averageness (if even average?) instead of just a few quality signings. I'm afraid you get what you pay for and that is certainly showing right now. The problem is entirely of the boards making. Typical Gartside starting with his refusal to Sam and continuing thereafter. I wish him well with his illness but detest the man for what he's done to our club.
