But hey, Vinny is doing a great job.
I don't know if you noticed but we are not a PL club we are a League 1 club. But seeing as you mentioned it Manchester United are one of those clubs. If taking the biggest club in the UK to the level it is now (below Bournemouth Brighton Brentford) then I really don't think that is a good advert for American ownership

Birmingham did OK last season. Wrexham too. Liverpool weren’t too shabby. Leeds coped reasonably well in the Championship, as did Burnley.
Remind me, how did the Malaysian-owned clubs get on?

That is word salad. Is it fact that if Tan sold, we would get better? We know your opinion and mine is different. Both are opinions not fact. Now answer the question is it ‘Fact’ we would get a better owner if Tan sold or is it ‘Fact’ we should be careful what we wish for.
To me they are both opinion

With our distant [in all senses] owner it just feels a bit cold and flat. I've always had a pragmatic stance on Tan, but now I'd wish he'd go. whatever the circumstances, even administration..
Very good post. i would stop short of taking administration, but i hear you, and a number of clubs have come back from it better shaped. No doubt we have been held in contempt, not respected and keeping us enthused has been bottom of the priority list.

Is it fact that if Tan sold, we would get worse?

Liverpool is doing well ATM but if you did down into their accounts you will find that they are deeply in debt to their owners who lent them millions to rebuild Anfield. I go to Liverpool every few months to visit old Army friends who are all LFC season ticket owners. They despise FSG, which surprised me. They all fear that what happened to MUFC will happen to them. Indeed in the early days of the Glazers MU did well until they started taking dividends out of the club.
As Borley says ‘be careful what you wish for’

Stop editing the replys. I said both senarios were opinions. Honestly how desperate are you?

Deeply in debt to their owners? A professional football club? Wow, I’m glad we’re not in that situation. That would be horrible.

Let’s get straight to the point. We all know Tan has made serious mistakes, we also don’t need reminding that the experience of following our football club is at its lowest ebb. Bottom line? Tan needs to go. Tan has to go. Tan should not be allowed to run a football club. Action is needed. No action does nothing, and either confirms our apathy towards the club or our acceptance of Tans tyranny.
The easiest thing you can do is sign the petition to show that there is an opposition. FAB or Trust don’t show it, and are lapdogs. Signing the petition is so easy, takes a few clicks and is FREE FREE FREE. If you don’t sign, it’s your choice, but you have to decide, if you don’t sign, whether you fall under the apathetic or the accepting group.
Here’s the link.

Once you have signed, you must confirm your signature via an email you will receive otherwise your signature will not count or show. DO NOT DONATE. THIS IS A REQUEST BY THE WEBSITE ONLY AND CAN BE SKIPPED.
But the petition is asking the EFL to do something it already does for all football clubs under its control.. It also doesn`t give a link to the EFL rules where it shows that it does so.

What do you think about Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Villa, Leeds, Birmingham & Wrexham?
