Enic just need to go and be replaced by people who want to win and have some of their own funds to supplement what the club makes in income.
At the moment we are run by tossers who dont care if win or not and run us absolutely only on what the club makes.
This just wont do anymore with the competition. Even aston villa are planning to spend £200m in the summer.
But alas due to our asking price enic aren’t going anywhere. I’ve just accepted we are on a path now to be a midtable club especially with Kane off.
Yep. We are run by a no-mark ex-owner of a discount Mr. Byrite clothing store and his boss who can't even spell 'football', let alone take an interest in it.
Their strategy for 20 grinding years has been to ride the wave of appreciating club values as a result of the explosion of the Premier League, using the growth in revenue to outbid the majority of the league for our targets and also tide us over when they make their many, many mistakes running the club.
Problem for them is, that model is not keeping us above the rest for much longer, because 'earned' revenue means less and less these days. Every club now has an ambitious owner willing to put in his own money to give his club's fans a bit of happiness (for whatever reason - political, personal, financial, all three).
Villa can spend hundreds of millions. Forest can spend hundreds of millions. Brighton get loans from their owner every year.
And here we are dragging Lewis and his floundering henchman around like anchors around our necks. They simply cannot compete today - they are small- time gradualist, 'zero cost' owners from 2001 in the world of 2023, and all their contemporaries from that time have been bought out or moved on to be replaced by men with soaring ambitions, and far deeper pockets.
