Firstly see the reply to you from Haruki.
Secondly the club does have assets. Contrary to common belief the most valuable assets are frequently not seen in the accountancy balance sheet.
I don't want get booged down in detail but 2 things most people will understand are the large fan base relative to the football pyramid status and the club's history / pedigree.
Getting a return might be indirect to the buyer not direct by stripping the club. So being sensible the long term plan and motivation of any new money is crucial. Sometimes others see assets they can exploit but we cannot and as long as that does not conflict with the well being of the club I do not see it as an issue. Transparency is key.
Clearly you and I have different views but the common ground is avoiding shysters whilst having access to the level of funds required to meet our objectives. I'd like to see the leadership making visible efforts around the common ground.
Some open debate is needed about constitutes a shyster and what our realistic objectives are.
I would very much like to be in your camp of being ``1comfortable with the board and I would be if they shaped up.
I do not believe we can ever move forward effectively in the long term shackled to the past. Equally it is crucial to maintain vigilance and never to forget the extremely painful lessons we received.

Wise words.
We must somehow take the emotional nonsense out of business decisions, whilst keeping that same emotional nonsense for the actual footballing side ie supporting the team at a game.
Easily said, but difficult to achieve.
