Clubs owned by a sugar daddy fan, have a habit of falling apart around the departure of their man.....think Walker at Blackburn, Whelan at Wigan and Hayward at Wolves.....usually though they buy a bit of success first....Walker the Prem, Whelan the FA Cup, Hayward a return to top flight football. I suppose Lansdown may see the JPT in that light.
It's interesting how much the original sugar daddies like Walker, who were home town boys made good putting back something into their clubs changed the expectations from fans and players on what a club owner was there for.
Now both fans and players expect a wealthy owner to freely handover £10, £15m a season so players can earn vast amounts of cash and supporters get on the rollercoaster of success or failure.
The only promise of a return would be maybe getting in the Premier League and even then you have to throw more millions to try to stay there.
The genie is out the bottle so it won't change until the Sky BT Sport gravy train comes to a halt.
