FSG did save us from administration but the net spend eg their investment has been tiny. If anything.

Last year we lost our player of the year Meireles for peanuts. They won't invest heavily which is what we need.

I just feel that our best players will become bargaining chips for any transfers moving forward.

Something about this whole American Ownership stinks and I dont like it one bit.


FSG spent approx 31 million net on transfer fees last summer, which is not tiny. No reason to think they won't invest again this summer.

If someone big leaves it'll be because that player decided to leave, not because FSG decided to cash in. And if someone does leave there's no reason to think that the money won't be made available to the manager (eg. Torres fee).


The £31 million they invested nothing out of the ordinary though, We usually have that amount of money to spend each summer.

They haven't invested a penny in playing staff. This money comes out of our revenue.

I will not bend to adopt a small club mentality like others have, 2 Bad seasons does not change the fact we are the most presticous club in the country, We are in the top 5 for shirt sales worldwide, or there abouts.

Why should we settle for anything less than a full on assault on Top 4. Where we belong?

If they don't get out the check book this year, Face it they never will. They are medium term invetors who will sell the club once we are back in the Champions League.

FSG will not lead us to the EPL championship, They bought the club for £300 million or so. If someone offered £500 tomorrow they would sell up!

They do not care for us in the same manner they do with the Red Sox.
The days where we belonged in the top four are well gone am afraid, the footballing landscape has changed and we are no longer part of it, it's not being negative it's called facing the facts.

No-one belongs in the top 4, but we've got a great shot next season, especially if we make a couple astute signings.

Arsenal will lose RVP, Spurs Modric, Newcastle won't have as good a run and who knows how well DiMatteo will do, his league form wasn't great (granted they're signing big players) and let's face it, we're all waiting till Fergie retires and they start dropping down the league.

Wishful thinking is a great thing there again if it gets some people by thinking that way then so be it, my opinion never in a million years.

Actually we've only spent 30mil+ net on players in a single season twice before in our history - Rafa's 1st season and H&J's 1st season - and we were in the CL on those occasions.

I'm with you on the small club thing, I hate all the doom merchants saying "face it we are mid-table now" (not aiming at anyone in particular). But the fact is that we can't actually attract players in the 25mil+ bracket at this particular moment, so we're not in a position to make a big outlay without bloating our squad.

You're making a lot assertions about the mentality of FSG with no evidence to back them up. I'm not saying they're perfect, but willingness to spend does not seem to be a problem so far.
