Not STFC but Dagenham have signed Andy Carroll after being taken over by Qatari owners
No one wants to buy football clubs though
Fair fucks to them, I think we are all aware that there are many multi millionaire buyers out there who will all be willing to invest money into their newly purchased clubs, but for that to happen a club must be up for sale.
If say a club in say L2 was said to have an owner who is "willing to listen to offers" and that club has a value of say £12m at most, and the prospective millionaire was willing to pay a little over that figure to make sure he aquired the club.
But then the owner then says "oh my club isnt for sale unless you pay me way more than what the club is valued at" so he puts a stupidly inflated price on a sale because the club isnt officially up for sale and then becomes unwilling to budge from that inflated price and then becomes very difficult to deal with.
Then any possible negotiations slow down with the prospective buyer not willing to pay more than he can see the club is worth and the current owner is not willing to drop his asking price at all because "the club isnt actually up for sale".
Imagine that scenario, that would be a nightmare. I cant imagine any club owner except for an unscrupulous one or one with a massive ego would do such a thing depriving a club of adequate funding for staff and players despite having a decent manager and squad that only needs a few additions to make it a viable promotion candidate.
I would hate to support a club with a selfish owner like that.
