I fully understand your logic but billionaires dont waste money, thats why they are billionaires.
Why does anybody buy a football club using that logic. |

No billionaire owns any club outside of the Premier or Championship and are very very unlikely ever to do so. We just arent a big enough worm to catch a monster fish. |

What about those lot down the A420? My point is wealthy people do buy football clubs - even at our level.
What was the allure of Wrexham or Carlisle?

People who live local and who are excessively wealthy sometimes get involved with clubs just to bail them out. This the exact scenario which led to both Derby's and Wigan's recent takeovers, and Dale Vince at FGR, and Fitton et Al with us. Given the dire straits we currently seem to be in, and there being a billionaire who lives ~25 mins from the ground, it's not out of the realms of possibility that they may acquire a club just to save it from going under. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to fund us to the moon etc.

Perhaps a bit biased here But what is the current difference between Swindon Bristl Rovers and Reading that an odd 15 million couldn't put right. Upgrade the established freehold stadium with ready made fan based support. Proven dedicated die hard fans who are just wanting a bit of success and TLC to keep them happy. Far better prospect than FGR Cheltenham Bath RFU Gloucester RFU and the likes. Am I the only person that can see this  |

Just a bunch of chancers that are stopping this club to go forward and get ahead.

Correct. Difficult to force them out either when literal gangsters are involved. |
