I know people are always keen to point out that TFG, came in and stabilised the clubs financial position, and that's true, but right across the board, they have been guilty of bad faith.
If they sell at anywhere near their asking price, they will, in less than two years work, walk away with an enormous profit.
Givern the way they have conducted them selves, it doesn't seem likely, that this was always their intentions.
Plus their "stabilisation" did not see them clear the last owners debt, just turn it into a mortgage on the stadium.
However, they did manage to stump up a major contribution to Trump's realection, and for me, this shows just what sought of people they really are.

Politics and football don't mix! Couldn't give two hoots who they gave money to in America in all honesty. For us and our club, they have come in and stabilised us when it looked like we were staring into the abyss and going to financially implode with the damage that FM left in his wake. For that, I wouldn't be bothered if they made a profit on us when they eventually sell up, that's business after all, mate.
I believe they came with good intentions but didn't realise how taxing owning two big clubs would be. As long as they sell on to someone who has money and patience then that will do me. One thing is certain, they leave us in a better state than when they first walked through the door.

Business people pay the side that is in their best business interests.
Only thing I'm interested in with TFG is whether they back us and help us to operate as a successful club. I'm doubtful that Kinnear has been the right appointment and I was disappointed that he remained in position after the transfer debacle.
I would like the new owners, whenever we get them, to be a step up in the decision making for the club and want us to do well without putting the club at risk. I'm not wanting a Chelsea or City type owner who have cheated their way to where they are but someone who genuinely wants the club to do well, will buy into the history (if not a fan already) and allow us to operate as a club willing to buy decent players or see us compete in the league and cups. All the above without needing to sell our best players to balance the books.
Is it too much to ask?
