Shock horror, I find myself in total agreement with BTC. Putting aside the fact that, under the present ownership most of us are likely to be long dead before we see another real quality squad at Fratton, capable of progressing substantially. The only thing I would give the Eisners credit for, is that they may have bankrolled us through the Covid epidemic. Something that might have been difficult as a fan owned club. Other than that, the speed of ground improvements has been slow. The biggest factor in the amount of work that can be done in the shortest period of time is cash. Cash fuels every construction stage of any project. With funding in place most construction programs can be condensed to fit most date critical targets. Looking from the outside in, it would appear that the improvements to the ground are drip fed. Suggesting that there is a long term program funded by operating profits not by start up investment. As for how much these improvements are costing, unless we are a party to looking at cost invoices, we have no idea wether the figures quoted to paint the Eisners in a good light are accurate or not.
