Petriix 2,834 Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I'm struggling to imagine what you think Delia actually does. She's hardly the puppet master pulling all the strings behind the scenes. She's just a benevolent custodian of the club who doesn't have much choice other than to stick with the current funding model. I doubt very much that Delia actively wanted to sell Emi or sign this bunch of losers (literally). I don't think it's her choosing the tactics. I suspect that she just trusts Webber to get on with the job. So what's her actual crime? That she should be richer? Or do you believe she's holding back a stream of foreign billionaires who are itching to buy the club and invest £200m? Given our success relative to our means, all I'll say is be careful what you wish for! Edited January 12, 2022 by Petriix 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,290 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I’m not bothered, the real question after Purple thread, without a lot of circumstances and pressure the current set up with the future make up already set up aren’t going anywhere, so no point in these over the top thread. So why are you still following if it makes you so angry, it’s not good for your health. Less who attend the bigger the message? Live with it and accept it, we’re in our champions league and we’re one of those teams who cannot compete, just take the money and run, set up for next season to go again. If we don’t get promoted we carry on building as we are. Edited January 13, 2022 by Indy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's pure fantasy. Firstly there is no evidence that anyone has shown any interest in buying the club. Secondly there's plenty of evidence (in the Championship and League One) that having billionaire owners doesn't automatically lead to success. Where we've failed is in player recruitment at this level. That suggests something is going wrong in the type of player we're trying to bring in. I suspect it's wages, but it's vastly complicated trying to get the balance right. Sheffield Utd got it seriously wrong and you can see the results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect it's wages, but it's vastly complicated trying to get the balance right. Sheffield Utd got it seriously wrong and you can see the results. To be fair in league 1 & Championship there’s a set FFP which impacts just pissing the money at the problem now. My issue is we sacked a two time winning championship manager and replaced him with Smith who loaned in 120 million pounds worth of players on big loan fees and barely got the up. He won’t have that luxury next season! The problem with more clubs being owned by billionaires is that they can move clubs forwards like a lot of clubs are with more money invested behind the scenes, better coaching, new training facilities, cat 1 and make those clubs as financial strong as they can then attract the best players, it might mean we fall behind clubs so top 26 might not be sustained in the near future. Just look at next season’s championship, it’s going to be the most competitive league looking at those coming down and those coming up from league 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glory.win or die. 270 Posted January 13, 2022 She's done more good for the club than anyone on here. She probably cares more than nearly everyone here too. We are not crap because of her, or because we are self funded, we are crap because we spent £50m+ on 7 or 8 players who just aren't good enough. £50M is more than enough IF the recruitment team do their job properly. This is solely on Webber, he deserves blame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m another, he was a failure after spending 200 million at Villa and has really not improved this club. I’d much rather someone with a history of success with a limited budget, Robins for me, I’d be more confident going into next season in the Championship with Robins than Smith! But we shall see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
