Only if they put money into a stadium and training ground so we can develop our kids. I dont want to just throw money at players who dont give a shit if we do well or not again.
The wealth of these people is rediculous They would simply buy the league but we’ve seen all this before and look where we have ended up It would be great fun though as these guys will spend any amount to get success,they wouldn’t pick us,it would be a bigger club like villa But we are London based and well known too It won’t happen,nobody would touch us with a barge pole
If they did takeover we could get them to send us a couple of PSG cast offs like Mbappe and Neymar. We could then reciprocate and send them Lynch and Cousins.
How much would they pay lynch to never set foot in W12 ever again These guys it’s simply a hobby and they may be tempted to rival Chelsea and ambramovich Hazard at QPR with tim Sherwood in charge sounds great 👍

Would we really want them though? Look what happened last time when we got brought by the Formula 1 lot, we all got very over excited and then they ripped the heart out of our club. We are just starting to get back on to an even keel and seem to have owners that care and finally understand English football.

Even had they bought us we can't spend more given the ridiculous FFP rules so it would have been pointless anyway. We had our chance to spend big and establish ourselves and we absolutely blew it.

It's often said to 'be careful what you wish for' but apart from Amit I would love new owners. IMO West Ham supporting TF and his mates have been a disaster.
When Fernandes took over QPR we were his second choice after he failed to buy the Bubble men and it shouldnt be forgotten that we were in the best financial position in our history. Whatever pepole might think of Briatore and Ecclestone they along with Amit paid off the debts and got us back to the promised land with a very good manager. When TF took over he literally had no idea and spent money on some of the worst players and managers ever to pass through the clubs doors. Not only did he waste all our money he then landed us with a massive fine by breaking the FFP rules. What makes this worse is that whilst Derby and Villa had smart owners who found a loophole in the FFP rules our Tony wasn't smart enough and lumbered us with a huge legal bill trying to fight a case he could never win.
To try and cover for all his mess ups he tries to keep the fans on side with his smoke and mirrors approach of claiming he wants a new stadium although typical of TF and his mates he wants somebody else to build and finance that stadium? It's not going to happen and when he gets questioned about why it's not happening he blames everybody else. Getting the Old Oak Common site owned by Car Giant and getting the Council to build him a new stadium at the Linford Christie site is just pie in the sky. Not sure just how diplomatic he was in either negotiation because I believe he fell out with both parties.
TF has messed up the club and he could learn so much from our neighbours at Brentford who it pains me to say are years ahead of us. You only have to compare the two clubs . When TF took over in August 2011, Brentford were starting the season in League 1 and we were about to make our return to the Premier League. 8 years later we are lower in the Championship than Brentford, we have no money and rely on free transfers and youngsters whereas Brentford sell and buy players for millions, we continue to be bluffed with promises of a new stadium while Brentford are about to move into an actual new stadium.
With the exception of a great day at Wembley I'm not sure what TF has done for the club apart from get us relegated twice and increase our debts.
My fear is that if we do start to ever get successful again he might want to once again start running the club on a daily basis. Hopefully, he stays in Malaysia where the only harm he can do is via Twitter.
TF may have his supporters who believe what he says but I'm not one of them!
I don't disagree with a lot of what you have said Stoatey although they do seem to have settled now and the club is going in the right direction, they seem have our best interest at heart. As an aside my preference as owners would be the Mittals.
