Well I do own a house Pedalo and it’s not for sale thanks .
A house (as opposed to a housing business) and a business are not remotely comparable and the analogy is totally meaningless.
The demand for houses is such that the price rises inexorably and the seller has the whip hand as regards price. Market conditions for businesses are much more volatile and you can only sell one for the price dictated by market conditions at the time. A house is usually a home too, so sentiment is often involved
Eisner may have needed funds for another project or seen the writing on the wall for the business and decided to get out while the going is good.
None of us can know that and it has no real relevance to his running of Pompey.
I know you lot all want some money spunking owner but Eisner definitely isn’t one of those and he said as much when he took over.
I like the club being run prudently, we have all seen what the alternative brings.
Be very careful what you wish for.
