If Top had his head screwed on he'd try and bring in some financial backer(s) to come on board and help him solve this mess. Surely he'd have connections? His luke warm leadership is wrecking the club his Father built.  

Or just go with the preferred option of selling up and F off

His dad didn't build the club. It was here way before him, bumbling along on our own nondescript way..

 

Vichai financed a remarkable chapter but if it wasn't for Pearson and Ranieri, we'd still be nothing as we were before

I can’t help but think Top is just hanging onto the club for sentimental reasons….. I can’t see how he’s so blind to what is happening here….. there’s zero long term planning here……

Until the Martians learnt the rules.

This club has always had a great history but who appointed Nigel and Claudio?

Birch effectively appointed Pearson. And I'm not joking.

Good old Birch. Think we're on the same side to be honest.

Further to this, it wouldn’t surprise me if she would actually be interested in investing. She seems to like pick up clubs on their arses….. maybe I’ll slide into DM’s and dangle the carrot………………

 

Then I’ll suggest she considers investing in Leicester.

Pearson was hardly their diligence though was it, he’d been here before and everyone wanted him back. Ranieri was just pure luck.

He also convinced Milan to take over the club. Which if it wasn’t for him, we would be folded by now playing on Vicceh park.

Americans

 

rather keep Top but restructure 

[HybridFox]

A syndicate of Sam Bailey, Engelbert Humperdinck and Roy Cropper 

[Wink84]

There would be plenty of interested buyers, just can't see Top wanting to sell unfortunately. For me, thanks for the memories your family have provided but it's time to move on.

At least the business would be profitable 😂

He's wiped off 80% of Twitter's value by being clinically insane.

 

The mad bastard would probably make sure we didn't have any LBs or LWs.

[KFS]

Someone said it already:

 

Have the billionaire man-child the 51% owner so he still keeps it for sentimental purposes, but make up the 49% with football people.

 

Gut the board and executive staff. Ashwort, Ragnick, whole new coaching set up. Sell about 12 players in July and go again.

Bournemouth and thier pokey stadium attracted a consortium of American billionaires, don't be fooled about how attractive a club like ours would be, there would be plenty of good interest.

There’s always some interest in clubs. The idea that nobody would want us is daft.

 

We have a far bigger profile compared to comparable clubs from the title win. Possibly the best training ground in the world, a productive academy despite the self-imposed barriers. 1000s of fans hat would go but can’t through the stadium capacity and other self-imposed barriers.

 

It just all depends on the finances and the debt. 

Both of these. A terrible squad due to three years of mismanagement could be undone with a couple of decent transfer windows.

 

Bournemouth are playing in a League Two stadium. Newcastle were a paragon of dreadful management. Birmingham have lurched from one balls up to the next. All have attracted fabulously rich new owners.

 

The potential of this club is obvious if run properly because we saw it between 2014 and 2021.

[Tielemans63]

IMHO the 5000/1 story and being able to buy the club that achieved arguably the biggest sporting upset of all-time would attract lots of potential buyers. Apologies if this sounds stereotypical, but I can see wealthy Americans being all over this as it sort of fits the American Dream narrative.

50+1.

[CrazyKopCorner]

If there is anyone else it’s time for a change. KP have been absolutely incredible and we should always be grateful to them but nothing lasts forever and a relationship based almost totally on sentimentality is destined to fail.

Good point. Hadn't considered that

[westernpark]

I left the stadium at full time. These stewards had to walk with this car, presume ownership or Rudkin, to Upperton Road.
