When I started following Town, I had no interest in football & knew diddly squat about it. Only started taking an interest because I lived in Ipswich for 2 years in the mid-1970s when Town were held in high esteem not just on the pitch (Robson era of success) but off it - the Cobbolds, ethical community approach, friendly family atmosphere etc. You could be proud of being in that community within a community.
The day that immoral ratbag Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum owns us will be the day I stop following Town - I'd no longer be able to have any pride in it - quite the opposite. |  |

There would be a challenging moral question in there for sure, the cashflow would be less of a problem though, that is unquestionable |  |

More to life than money etc etc (but I know that you knew that, & were basically flying a kite!) | |

I heard rumours Daub Alderney Ltd, were looking at us.
This was a while ago and before Rank group bought Daub. |  |

It would be a difficult one if it ever got to that stage. I would personally love a rich owner who could invest serious money into us and potentially make us contenders again, but I am not sure he would be a good fit for us. All successful business people have a past that people could pick a hole in, but this bloke seems to have a colander of a past. Success versus principles? [Post edited 6 Mar 2020 20:25]

We finally submitted to the betting boom and emblazoned Magical Vegas on our shirts
Godolphin would at least have some sporting connections and may have a better idea of how to run a sports club. I know they've been mired in controversy before and their owner again is controversial so it would be a strange moral question from the off.
However, beggars can't be choosers currently, we are in a mess and someone of that wealth could transform us. Yes it maybe for all the wrong reasons but we certainly need a saviour, whomever that may ultimately be. | |

Coastal is spot on.
Do we really want to sully ourselves with a "sport" that is essentially animal cruelty and the social ill of gambling addiction? As you say we have finally allowed a betting firm in, and despite objections which were ignored it's done us precious little good. |  |
