I know a lot of Blades who are decent lads and am pleased for them. I have met some though who have swallowed the City "ruining football" line and I always asked em if they'd like to be taken over by owners like ours. "Well, well..." splutter splutter. Hypocrites.

Shame that he's a day late.
With the FFP rules down there buying players isnt much of an option anyway but can pour money in to other areas

Yep. FFPR in the Championship for example say that clubs are fined points and/or millions of pounds if they make losses of more than £6m in one season. How exactly are owners supposed to help their clubs to the PL with insane restrictions like that?

According to the BBC a month ago, something like 1/3 of all Championship and League One owners are considering selling up due to the new Football League FFPR...

Exactly! Seeing some Newcastles fans starting to realise that they are doomed to be middle of the road because of these rules to.

Edit: Be interesting to see how our loan signing Harry Bunn (who I rate) will do there.
 
Be even harder for them to get back to the PL as not allowed to spend spend spend then have to contend with massive parachute payments relegated PL clubs will continue to receive:

Premier League's relegated clubs to receive £60m boost
Comments (393)
Clubs relegated from football's top flight will receive in excess of £60m over a four-year period from next season.

The Premier League has agreed new parachute payment arrangements, although it is yet to confirm the exact figure.

Clubs relegated to the Championship currently receive £48m over four years.

Premier League's helping hand
•Since 2010, clubs relegated from the Premier League have received £15m then £17m for the first two seasons, then £8m for the two seasons after that.

Reading, Queens Park Rangers and Wigan are currently in the bottom three and facing relegation.

Parachute payments were introduced to help relegated clubs absorb the huge losses in revenue that accompany dropping out of English football's lucrative top division.

The new deal will remain in place for the next three years and replaces a deal agreed in 2010. Then, the Football League voted to accept parachute payments from the Premier League over four years instead of two - although the payments increased from £32m to £48m.

The revised payments meant that instead of clubs relegated from the Premier League receiving £16m a year for two years, they received the money over four years - £15m for the first season, £17m for the second and then a further two payments of £8m per season.

Last month, chairmen of the 24 Championship clubs met to discuss the latest proposal, but the outcome of the meeting was inconclusive.

Earlier this season, current Rochdale boss Keith Hill criticised parachute payments when he was manager of Championship side Barnsley, stating that they were "rewarding failure".

"I've never been rewarded for doing anything wrong or being relegated," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"Clubs that get relegated get rewarded financially, how does that make sense?"

Sheffield Hallam University sports finance specialist Rob Wilson says he can understand why parachute payments could be viewed with scepticism by some Championship and lower league clubs.

He told BBC Sport: "The bigger increase in parachute payment should, by rights, help the transition for any club that gets relegated to the Championship.

"What it will also do is make it a little bit more difficult for other clubs in the Championship to compete.

"It is almost like, in many ways, they [the Premier League] are protecting the integrity of the three clubs that are relegated to the Championship, giving them a lot more money to survive in the league below which might then increase the same three clubs's chances of getting promotion at the first attempt."

Well I've been a Blade all my life and of course I want the club to do well but I admit I don't want foreign owners to buy us to the top. Granted a lot won't care as long as success comes but that would be the same at any club anywhere, morals go out the window when they smell the money.
