No it wasn't because the Eisners' fastidiously avoided making any promises on actually sorting the ground.
My guess is that precious little more has been spent on the ground by the Eisners than was in the last fan owned PFC five year budget and expenditure plan.
If the Eisners had spent big on the infrastructure of the club then I'd be more than happy watching a collection of cheap arsed loanees, because the brick-by-brick plan was actually happening and their financial power and business acumen was securing the club for the long term. But they haven't and it isn't. Oh and we still have the same scurrying around for last minute signings and discount loan players.
In 2017 we (well some of us) owned our football club, it was profitable and we'd just won Div 4 (or whatever it's called). It seemed that we were on the way back from near liquidation. To say we have been in neutral since is putting it kindly. And now the next f*ck up from our so-called professional owners... Why, do they choose to rip out the seats in D section just before they start selling season tickets there? Why not do that when the ground was shut FFS?
I'm concerned that the whiff of stagnation is not far off.
I’d hazard a guess that their due diligence on the ground was shit.
