We would be in league 1 still if Mcabee was still here. He’s not the richest man in the world but i do believe he has the best interests of the club at heart. He has put a lot into the club and we have enjoyed spells in the prem because of it.What a joke this owner is…..taking more high interest loans to basically allow him to kick the can down the road and to allow him to fund the club.
He cannot afford to run either a Premier League or Championship club. He’s got himself in a right mess now. He missed his chance to sell in April 2023 - now he’ll be luck to get an offer at £50 million - let alone the £170 million talked about back then.
Please can someone tell me what his Legacy is going to be after 3 out of the last 5 seasons in the Premier League ? Certainly no Cat 1 academy or new training ground. We will have literally hardly anything to show, but will be exiting with outstanding debts!
I do agree that we have wasted the opportunity to be more established and better off because of it. The squad especially is of championship quality, some of the players are L1. Our recruitment has been shocking and we sign all the wrong types of players for any kind of long term success. Basically just try hards with limited ability.
So whilst we have made progress with being in top flight and owning the ground the squad is probably no better off than it was 5 years ago. Considering the riches of the top tier that is criminal. The managers and recruitment are to blame for this more so than the prince who has given all he can. Didn’t wilder spend over £100 mill in the first season we got back to the prem?
Is it fair to knock the owner for not spending beyond his means but also say he should’ve been more wreckless with his spending?
