Re: Mortgaging the family silver

I'm with the majority. As S2 said, it would be a one-shot injection - even if it did realise enough funds to strengthen the squad enough to make promotion reasonably feasible, we would still be in the hands of the gods of football as to whether it actually happened (note how Pompey and Sunderland faltered right at the end of this season). And if it did, we would surely need to strengthen again to have any hope of surviving in the Championship - and where would the funds for that come from?

Imho, buying the ground was the best financial move ever when it comes to guaranteeing (as far as anybody can) the continued survival of the club. Selling it again now would seem completely perverse......
