A billionaire would suffice, or possibly a Multi Millionaire (maybe Multi Multi)
I'd just be happy with someone who gave a manager tools to work with, who understood football, and who actually had a soft spot for us!

I would add a C) to that, and say that if Tan persists with his mad, autocratic grip on the club (I would use the word Vision but that is too positive for what he is doing to us) then we will become another Ipswich. A team who used to be pretty much top Championship every year, but now are really forgotten.
Or even a Wigan........

The fact is we have someone at the helm who is keeping us afloat - I agree with that - but according to multiple (and recent) sources VT is worth £750m and recent articles also state that he wants to offload half of his wealth
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/vincent-tan-give-half-wealth-charity-%E2%80%94-report
Now, this is the thing. I am grateful for what he has done for the club - but this post is specific - I am simply saying that if VT wanted to own a Premier League club he could just do it. He could invest £30m in the summer and get us promoted next season and then a further £70m when we are in the Premier League and that would probably suffice. £100m. It is a bit of a no-brainer when you have £200m back if you do get relegated.
So the point I am making is that if he wanted Premier League football. He could just do it. He is wealthy enough. So the question is Why doesn't he - I personally think he has lost interest.
Now I am quite sure that there are other individuals out there, who are richer than VT, who are interested in buying the club, and who are interested in Permanent Premier League football. And if VT does not want to take the club back up then surely the right and proper thing to do would be to allow others to do this.
