We've wited years for a billionaire to come along and put the club to the heights it's supporters deserve.
So along comes said billionaire who promptly starts stripping the clubs assets and uses it to promote his other business ventures

You should see the situation here in Los Angeles. A wealthy East Coast millionaire named Frank McCourt came to LA, bought the Dodgers baseball team, carved the organization into various fragments, siphoned off money from the business to support an extravagant lifestyle (e.g., he and his wife [they are now divorcing] actually had adjoining mansions/beachhomes in Malibu while still married), reduced security at the ballpark resulting in a near-fatal beating of a fan from another team, and generally screwed-up the entire Dodgers organization. The team and McCourt are now in bankruptcy and Major Leaguge Baseball is selling off the team to the highest bidder. I'm quite sure the Dodger fans (which I am not, BTW; I'm a San Francisco Giants fan) feel just the same as your situation...
