Re: ESPN article on Blues & Rooney

I hope so, Rab. And look, aside from the Eustace/Rooney debacle they've got nothing wrong. But I think a little skepticism is good when an investment fund takes over the club because they exist only for one purpose.

Hopefully it serves us well. I'd be more concerned if I were a Chelsea fan. That Super League is coming, IMO. I can't see how Clearlake make money without it.

I think we need to look at the bigger picture a little bit .....

Obviously we hope they are here to stay .... i think they are
To make a profit on their investment you would (simplistically) assume that to do that then Blues have to be successful on the pitch (how can that not be a positive ?)

But ... the biggest thing, in my mind, that has already been fully achieved, is dragging us out of the ridiculously complex (though brilliant) business structuring that other potential buyers couldn't seem to even fathom. Therefore if they ever have to sell us on we will be so so so much more attractive to other buyers than we previously were
