Ha! I would say most people probably don’t realize how much the owners are responsible for building a winning culture from the ground up. Wes is co-owner of the Bucks just like he’s partners with Sawiris. He keeps a pretty low profile, which is nice in ways, but I wonder if more could be done to cross-promote his clubs. In general it seems like an owner of an English club can have way more influence with financial investment than in American sports, but he’s clearly been doing something right with the Bucks.
In his speech today he mentioned having a plan when they bought the Bucks seven years ago, and the championship was the culmination of that plan. He mentioned hiring the best back room staff, the best sports scientists, and front office to get here..this seems very much in line with what they’re trying to do at Villa too. Exciting times!
