"If they felt it was the right investor"

What on earth does that mean? It's worth pointing out that we've had genuine fans running the club since 1996 - and their record is, frankly, poor. The only conclusion to draw from Doncaster's pieces is we need massive investment to have any chance of success: finding it (wherever it's from) should be their no.1 priority.
