In my opinion, every penny that has been spent on this club by the Eisners so far has been to a) protect their assets and b) maintain us at the level at which we they bought the club. Comparatively negligible amounts have been spent at preparing for our future or any intention to head for the next level in the future. They have displayed zero ambition as displayed by being quite happy for our team to fail so disgracefully last season and be so underwhelming this year. Our academy is still a joke. As for the future, we still allow players to work out their notices and close season will continue to be scraping the bins for talent. Do you think last season's desperate free agent trial festival represent the actions of an ambitious, progressive club?
Anything that requires any major commitment, the Eisners try to get other organisations like Network Rail or PCC to blame for their lack of action. Im still out about Cowley but I'm tired of our owners and fed up being outperformed year in year out. Just like what we demand of our players, all we want is some forward-looking sign that is club is going places, and we haven't really had that for so long.
But hey you enjoy those wood-effect bar kiosks in the North Stand, whilst we probably wave Forest Green (or another L2 club) through on their way to the Championship.
Business owner spends money on key asset to keep it in a condition fit for use shocker.
Let's just conveniently forget all the necessary works just to stay open with a decent capacity, the Roko purchase, the funding to get us through the pandemic, the correction of decades of underinvestment.
The owner you want, that will spend millions upon millions and require nothing in return does not exist. There are for sure others out there who would spend millions, but not of their money. And then one day the debt needs repaying and there's nothing to pay it with.
Things will change, just not at the speed you want.
