I think to echo Ian's sentiment the question shouldn't be why aren't rich UK people buying our football clubs but do we need or want rich people buying football clubs? Once a club is 'owned' by a benefactor it ceases to be come the club it had been for a 100 years and becomes the benefactors plaything to do what he wants with. This includes change kit colour, change name and move location. As community assets this is plain wrong. It is the unsustainable business models that require bottomless pit funding that create the benefactor (soon to be franchise) demand. The majority of us followed football before 1992 and sky and would still do without it. Benefactors don't make football, fans make football. Cheers Paul
