Quite honestly I wonder were SUFC would be now without McCabe. Whether you love him or hate him, trust him or not, we have become a much better club under his stewardship than previous chairs. The ground looks the best it's ever been, and although the teams struggling, we do have a decent squad. With new improvements to the ground coming, and a bit of luck with injuries and the ball, we could really go places. Well done Kevin.
I would agree with that, you just would of hoped his record would of bought him more credit with the fans.
EDITED FROM ANOTHER THREAD.
Property, in this case our stadium, is a huge attraction and is an investment which invests in the club long term rather than short term buying players.
You could say it is actually the actions of a true fan to ensure the club is here long term and in a position to compete with anyone.
A first class ground which doesn't require further development in the short term which generate millions through the enterprise centres and attracting other events is hardly nice to look at but useless. It's making money, lots of money and the further development will only increase this figure.
The argument is that money is going into the ground development rather than the first team squad. That has been countered with the long term investment comment. You might not agree but it does make sense, if I were in charge I wouldn't invest my personal wealth in playing staff it would be putting my money into what would be for the benefit of my team long term. I'd make the football side have to run itself to its own budget. Basically spend what the club makes itself without being helped out. Some would disagree and say he should put it into playing staff, he disagrees.
If you are looking for an analogy I would say it is more like a father who gives his kids the best environment to make there own way. Good stable home environment , good education, and let them make their own way in the world.
The other side of the coin is to bank roll them throughout their younger lives and then hope they appreciate it in the likelihood that he will be bailing them out for the rest of his life. At which time they are on their own.
The downside is that at 17 the kids can't have Vayron that he wants that his dad can easily afford. He can't run up massive debts at Uni on clothes and socialising although again his again can easily right off the full amount.
For me that is where we are and again in my opinion McCabe is making the short term harder choices, risking the spoilt tantrums (in our case from the fans asking why he isn't putting his own money in), for the long term benefits of a well rounded, self sufficient entity.
to say is he's took £60million out !
