I am not quite sure what I hoped to achieve by doing so, but the topic was debated by fans from all clubs, with, as you expect, a complete mixture of views. So if you set out to run a club prudently how do you fund the playing budget whilst fielding a competitive team? The trip itself included meeting some old friends of the club, potential new investors and some financial institutions that were looking for sporting investments. Some turned me down as they would not write out a cheque for less than £50 million and really wanted Premier League involvement. Whilst many owners and directors suffer abuse for doing their best, it really is being directed at the wrong people.
