Did I once say that they invested anything from their own pocket?? I said that they reinvested money into the club from sales and other income.
I would have thought that reducing the wage bill to near enough 55% was a good thing?
It's their job to ensure that we hit FFP. As owners thats what they should be doing.
Do they deserve praise for doing it? NO... Not when it left our Manager 16 outfield players to register for the league!
So your saying they could have reduced the wage bill and not bought in any one since they became owners and you would be happy with that? As you said "they didnt have to buy anyone"
I think you'll find that if they had done that more people would be inclined to think they are unfit owners...
By spending the minimum possible they are just pandering to the fan base and people are lapping it up!
Mistakes were made on both parties regarding the final day of the transfer window in that BR should have been certain that a replacement was coming in for Carroll but beyond the strikers issue, we were not that stuck in any other area of the pitch due to the youngsters who don't have to be registered.
So they are good owners for hitting FFP?
where did I say I would be happy if they had brought in no one? No one but they have brought in players? That's a nonsense argument.
What is the minimum possible? We had the 5th highest net spend I think this summer? Thats certainly increased if January is combined with it.
We had a massive outlay in the summer of 2011 as well?
Their actual day to day running of the club is decent. Where they need to get the finger out is on the stadium issue
Your statement... And I quote
"We spent 150mil on players the last few years, total not net. I never mentioned net.
The owners didn't have to release those funds if they didn't want to."
Suggests that they didnt have to buy anyone...
They are not fit owners, From day 1 a CEO should have been appointed.
They brought in their PR man... They failed.
They could have bought a Cisse or Jelavic last Jan to push us to fourth.. They failed
They have failed to equip the manager with sufficient players.
They have failed on the Stadium issue.
They have failed in every transfer window, Failed to carry out due diligence time and time again..
They are successful at failing.
