I would agree with you that it is a very strange choice of clubs to invest in give it's current assets, there are (I believe) much better options out there, who are currently actively seeking investment.
Perhaps it is that one jewel (The Premiership) that has clinched it for them though - it is not an easy place to get, right now, they are there - and as I said before, I think they will stay up.
I really cannot believe that they have drawn another dud, the fake sheik was a complete farce - lightening couldn't strike twice, surely.
Personally - I think they will be ok now. Oh and I hope that Paul Harte keeps his job too, because irrespective of his results, he has remained pretty dignified and boyant throughout the whole nightmare - fare play to him.
