Middlesbrough chief executive Keith Lamb has claimed the club will never go down the route of looking for foreign investors. Lamb also questioned the motives foreign owners have for buying Premiership clubs when he told the BBC: "Man City fans must be wondering what is going to happen next.
"They have had three owners in just over a year.
"But as far as we are concerned this increasing foreign ownership within the Premier League will have no effect at Middlesbrough Football Club whatsoever.
"The club is very stable from top to bottom and we want it to stay that way. We have made a good start and we want it to continue."
He said: "I am very concerned about English football and the effects of foreign ownership will have on the Premier League teams.
"I don't really see what the foreign owners will get out of this in the long-term."
Lamb added: "Football is all about tribalism and the fans love their teams. I don't see how the investments of the corporation from Abu Dhabi or people living in Russia or the United States will get out of it."
