I'm not particularly interested in what ifs and maybes tbh. The truth is we will never know so let's stop pretending we were inside the board room. We absolutely could have spent wiser so to use that as something to knock a old owner doesn't really make much sense in this context either
Of course it makes sense. We are discussing the ownership of our club aren’t we?
I was saying I would rather keep the prince as an owner rather than an unknown potential conman - then you quoted my post saying anyone could have brought those players in. I was replying saying clearly they wouldn’t have as our most recent ex owner obviously wouldn’t. So it’s perfectly relevant.
A number of people have gone on record to say the prince personally sanctioned and acted as guarantor for a number of our larger transfers even offering to mortgage his private residence.
I know who I believe.
One of them had a track record of running us on the cheap, dirty underhand tactics to try and gain sole ownership in order to turn a fast profit and lied to the fans regularly (Beattie flu)
The other saw us smash our transfer record several times while running the club sustainably and brought the club and stadium back together.
