Image and potential profits from sale or investment. How much did Peak6 pay for us?

They will probably make good on Sam Curtis. The same with Mason Melia. Dundalk haven't been getting any fees.
Pats have gotten a couple of years in Europe too

The optimism that was followed by Dan McDonnell's club takeover announcement back in 2021 seems dead on its feet now. Maybe the buzz got everyone carried away of what actual likely to happen.

To be fair to Stevie, he has us where we deserve to be as, Andy B said, Midtable/pushing for Europe each year. And i think owners understand that and will do best to back him. I also think we will still get europe this year.

Very hard to replicate what Kenny done, with stronger owners now invested throughout the league. Even Pats seem wealthier vs us at the moment.

Without wealthier owners or more investment or outside the box thinking like bohs, what else do fans actually expect?
The fans have to take some responsibility too. But nobody on here or the mouths on Facebook ever mention that.
The owners have consistently said that they need outside investment and are looking for it. Yet when the Hull deal was close there was a collective nervous breakdown by the fan base , including The Pressbox and The Men who saved Football podcast. Hull deal was dead in the water after that. Andy Burton floated the idea that Hull money might have helped sign Shepps on a longer term deal and improve the pitch…

I am with you ... fans need to be doing more, however the owners coming out saying they dont want support through support doesnt help. It is pure madness that a so called football town has such low attendances, even when we were winning everything, we very seldom if ever sold out.
I would stick my neck out and make the statement that the majority of our fans dont realise what it costs to keep the club afloat, if they did, we would have better attendances and less fines.
