TRO Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, alreadyexists said: I know, it was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment. As has been said before; it doesn't matter how rich an owner is, it's how much they're willing to spend that matters. Randy Lerner was a billionaire, but he wasn't willing to spend anything significant. Sorry i still think Randy did spend a fair bit.....but nothing else was right.

You're right, he did spend a lot in the first 5 years, and looking back 6th place for a few years running was great, then it all sort of dried up a bit when he lost interest. Like you say, money was there early on but nothing else was right. Hope this signing is the first of many, and it's certainly a step in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 50 appearances in the heart of defence for the team promoted to the Premier League in 1st place is the more relevant Stat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he was injured, unless they shipped all those goals in his 8 games I'm not overly concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I know nothing of the guy apart from what read on here. However, it's good to see that RDM has identified the need to straight away bring in a leader. Shown he has clearly thought about the squad. First of many I hope.
