Agreed, being chairman of a football club would be a terrible job. Everybody complains no matter what you do.
Agreed
Exactly, surely any millionaire property developer would spend any spare cash he has about the place buying cheap property at a point like this, and not on your football team. I didn't think the 3 year deals were a mistake (thats neither here or there though) but not allowing the management team the funds to keep the team that got us to the last 32 together, and investing on better players then was a massive mistake.
If they'd taken the conpensation money they spent this summer, and spent it on players then, we could have got 3rd place again the next year instead of 4th, been back in europe, but that's all just ifs and buts.
I don't have much confidence in the board being able to push us onto 'the next level' if we were to get back into that position again though.
