Its definitely more enjoyable to watch than its been for some years but best place it's been?Whitesince63 wrote:
With interest rates at current levels and not likely to rise that much Bob, I don’t think the debt is a massive problem for now and if the likes of Dapo and Rico carry on as they are, they could be sold and debts cleared very quickly putting the club in the best place it’s been in years. Promotion would be the icing on the cake but of course we mustn’t look too far ahead. I think FV are doing a first class job and despite the outstanding debt the club is in a much better place than it was and I’m sure potential investors will see that.
As I recall we won promotion to the Championship in 2017 and stayed there in 2018, just one step away from the Premiership. In all probability we also made a small profit thanks to the sale of G Madine for £millions more than he was worth and still had Eddie Davies in the background albeit not nearly as wealthy as he once was.
FV have certainly improved since they brought in 'the onion man' to manage the team and Toby Twirl to handle recruitment but Ian Evatt could be high on the list of wealthier club owners looking for a new manager if he were to get back-to-back EFL promotions.
Owen Oyston once said that he made a small fortune by starting with a large one and investing it in the News on Sunday.

Eddie Davies could have said much the same about investing in football clubs. He probably didn't though; I don't think he was much like Owen Oyston.
