Of course its not a comparison as owners and people. My point is we've had owners who did good things initially and no one dared question. It doesn't mean they get a free pass.

But surely he can't want to preside over these performances from a business perspective any longer? Must feel like bleeding money at this point.

But interestingly, I finished watching welcome to Wrexham this morning. They interview the Grismby chairman who spoke about building relationships with the fans and questioned if the two Hollywood stars would continue to fly over when things aren't going well or when fans aren't all positive.

VillaChris Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 If they don't do anything they are simply not as good owners as everyone claims they are. We are very lucky not to be in the bottom 3. Given what we've spent the last year has been very poor but there is still time to correct this. When we made the managerial change last year we won 4 of next 6 games (let's remembered we went into that having lost 5 in a row). We do that again and we'll be comfortable top 10. It's blind faith if they really believe Gerrard can turn this around. He won't so stop wasting time and hopefully they can use their clout to get in a top class manager as would make no sense to get in another rookie given who we've signed since January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They saved the club which we are all thankful for but in premier league terms they aren't good owners. Our recruitment under this regime has been beyond horrendous. Also. Lying to the fanbase and doing the opposite also doesn't sit right with me. Edited October 16, 2022 by Pinebro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming we are an ambitious club aiming for Europe then suddenly turning the money tap off with Purslow saying we are gonna be self sustaining now. We are basically just Crystal Palace, Leeds now. Happy to stay in the league. Watching Newcastle showing real ambition while we're standing still is soul destroying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get away with it. Calling the owners who saved us from extinction and pumped hundreds of millions into the club in the process, investing in the academy and an improved stadium ‘**** clowns’ is self-entitled BS. ‘They don’t get away with it’ - what exactly?

NSWE allow it to carry on so they're all just one big clown show, all equally deserving of blame. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I simply cannot believe the owners think the spectacle of Gerrard taking millions of their money and burning it in front of their eyes every month is acceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that are genuinely into the sporting project when they attend maybe once or twice a season, I just don't buy it. I'm not niaive I know they are here for a financial reason but you'd like to think they would show more passion for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about if they wanted to sign a certain player, would that be ok? They are new to football so rightly allow the person they have employed to run the club do his job. If at some point they feel we are underperforming there job is to replace that person. Edited October 16, 2022 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
