The bluenoses I know both despise this guy, it seems they want him out as quick as possible. Don't think this'd be a good move at all.

I think this is very simple.
We were lucky to get MM - but MM isn't super rich by the contemporary standards. Had he been, he would have stayed and further invested in Portsmouth.
David Sullivan hasn't spent enough to keep the Blue Noses happy but might be prepared to spend more than MM is likely to do in the future.
Lets just hope we dont go the way of Portsmouth when Milan decides to sell up...
F**K this guy right off. We don't need another bloody egotistical pr*ck...
I would rather keep Milan who I feel does really enjoy football. He may not be a billionaire but neither is David Sullivan. I hate the kind of board room manoeverings that we had in the past. The club at the moment seems more professionally run than I can remember even in the great years of Bloomfield or O'Neill. For this much of the credit should go to Nigel Pearson and Steve Walsh but some also to Milan and Lee Hoos.
In what way DG (ignoring on the pitch performance)

I can't remember much of the running of the club in the Bloomfield days, but you can hardly say that it was being professionally run in the MON era. We had a despotic manager who forced the only element of professional ability out of the boardroom and left us with the vacuum that allowed the club to fall into the most desperate of financial situations. The on-pitch delights really closed our eyes to what was going on behind the scenes.
I agree.
I want someone far richer and someone with even worse taste in decoration in their home. :icon_bigg

I don't buy into that view of it. When MON left the club was financially sound, it was the following custodian that dished out absurd contracts. I suppose you could argue that MON made himself so irreplaceable that when he did leave the club we were destined to fail.
I don't really want to get into a MON argument, because frankly I'll just end up disagreeing with you even more. So what would be the point? But I can say that I do disagree with you in this regard.
That is simply not true
O'Neill oversaw the awarding of enormous unsustainable contracts to the likes of Izzet, Elliott etc. prior to feckin' off and leaving us in the shit with massive over-commitments on the salary bill
