We dont know what happened with the uwe exactly but if the owners were unhappy with the project they were right not to proceed with it imo. Every club bar about 4 sell their best players or havnt you noticed that? The loan against the ground is either normal business practise or the owners selling us down the river depending on who you believe. We need a better ground thats obvious but taking into account the uwe setback i think the owners deserve more time to deliver that and to generally improve the club. Im encouraged by the buying of the land for the colony,by the remarkable progress of the newly formed development squad and by the fact that we have payed decent fees for 3 players this season. The wage budget is lowish because the owners are not going to gift the club money to negate FFP rules which is their decision to make. Seriously, how much time do you feel we can afford to give them please ? We cannot continue to haemorrhage money as we are and while the other lot get further ahead and gain fans that may have come to us. How long please ? The thing is what ars the alternatives?

At the very least, pumping some money into the team, while they sort the rest. They are making themselves look extremely Scrooge like in my opinion & looking every bit as naive and the previous lot. If we struggle on the pitch then gates will inevitably go lower. I don’t believe we will last 3 more seasons if we carry in in this manner. My belief is that the family have already seen us as problematical and will look to either cash in when the mem money is gone or will be having secret talks with potential buyers ( if they exist) ? ongoing personally I don’t believe we will see the family invest any of their own money. When I learned of the charge against the mem, I was both shocked and angry. They’ve certainly insured they get their money back very openly and I think in distasteful haste.

I think the AQ's are not familiar with the English football fans thirst for knowledge.... They do business behind their doors and will release what they think necessary when they want. They could do with learning a bit though and adjusting what they do the the environment they are in. Not many industries have a market like professional sports do.
There are lots of easy wins available to them, yet they seem to miss them....
