    If the board are smart they will fend this off delicately. 

    We are looking good right now and there is clear synergy from board, to manager, to players to fans.

    That bond has placed us in the top 6.

    We do not want that disrupted. 

    Who knows what the future holds but as a fan we don't need anything other than the status quo to see where it takes us.  

    Ive also watched interviews with this weasel and he couldn't take responsibility for a singular thing. 

    Acted like a 5 year old who HADNT thrown his food all over the kitchen,  when he destroyed Palaces dream.  

    We are just coming good I DO NOT want Nathan Jones interrupted in any way shape or form.  
    Our current owners are already wealthy men and obviously bought into the club as an investment/punt.
    So far for them it could not have gone any better and hopefully they see us as a long term project that they can build on.
    They do honestly seem to be enjoying the ride as anyone could see at Wembley.
    As you said, everything seems to be aligned just nicely right now, they just let Nathan do what he does best and they take care of the financial side of things.
    Long may it continue.

    I doubt there is any substance to this.

    Yes, everything has a price but our current owners are rich and, as far as I can tell from the brief conversations I've had with them, enjoying themselves.

    When I spoke to Brenner last month he said we are ahead of schedule in that  Jones got us up sooner than planned for.

    None of them appear to have the Premier League or bust attitude of a Chanseri which ended, as we know, in bust.  

    Now that can change when things go wrong as Cash and Sandgaard show but the current crop aren't disillusioned or desperate to get out.

    They have a budget, they can cover the losses we're still making and when they have been unhappy about the way the club and team were progressing they sacked team managers ie Holden and Appleton and directors ie Methvan, Scott and Higson rather than put the club on the market.

    Things can change and maybe three, five or ten years down the line they will want out, either to recoup their investment or because it is not fun anymore but Friedman and Rosenfeld have both involved their adult children in the ownership so I'm not going to worry about this just yet.
