I think we're twisting like a kid who didn't win pass the parcel. We were really close to promotion and a cup win in the first season.

But we didn’t get promotion. And we didn’t win a cup. What we did was finish in our lowest ever position.

And then did it again the following year.

But hey, twisty kids!

And every right to do so. Surely you're not happy with being nearly men in league pissing one????

We didn't finish the season either, but hey.....details....

Details eh? We were abysmal before the season ended. Couldn't win away from home and had a few away games left.

I despise Donald and Methven. This salary cap will really expose them. I wouldn't be too confident of staying up wants it is in full swing because we are the worst ran club in the country and won't have the financial advantage to cover it up and finish upper mid table like we did this year.

We weren't playing well. I'm convinced we wouldn't have made the play offs even if we had finished the season (said so at the time as well, also we were dire away from home)

Was plenty of time to turn it round, but we'll never knaa....
 
I want him to sell up (Praying for FPP but my hopes are down) but why anyone can get upset he hasn't got back to Chopra regarding a Takeover ffs. The twat can't even talk properly, hates us, and has major gambling issues. The other 2 mentioned don't seem much better. Sammy whatever and also Campbell. I agree with pressure to lower his price so we can get the right person/group. Let''s keep it civil so he doesn't just sell to any old knacker or we will be just getting passed around like a bad penny

You don't stop cost cutting when you get to the break even point. The idea is to make a profit.

What a crap answer, I ask a question and you tell to go and find the answer elsewhere.

and yet still just 1 game of 2nd place.

Maja left, we could do nothing to stop that. It wasn't in our gift to keep him. Grigg hasn't worked out so far, but if we hadn't pushed the boat out for him we'd be abused even more for that.

Reducing your outgoings to match your income works for everyone. There isn't a queue of people lining up to invest huge sums to make progress, that's the core problem. So as SD doesn't have massive personal wealth he has no choice but to make the club work within its income. Like or not, it's the only option.

If someone comes in who's prepared to run the club at a loss as a gamble, then it would be different. But given, we're not even sure when we'll get fans back in the stadium and the expected global recession, I doubt many people are looking for clubs to chuck millions at.

So I agree, an owner willing to invest £500m would be great, but that's not reality.

If you think the quarrel is purely down to lack of investment then you havent looked into it properly. It would be far easier to defend them if that were the case which is why I'm assuming you're choosing not to recognise the other arguments.

Without going into an essay you can summarise their time as being short term in the extreme and damaging to our future. I'm glad the finances have been somewhat sorted however you dont get to play the money card with the amount of money they have wasted.

It’s a shame we didn’t have a trio of American billionaires who were interested in taking over who Donald could sell to

I don't think we can yet rule out this happening. However it was not them going bleating to a local paper that has an agenda against us.

What about the second season? Or should we be grateful for a season ago? A season we failed in.

We've got no god-given right to win the league. The first priority was to balance the books, that meant losing things.

No the first priority was promotion. Cutting costs was secondary to this but still high importance. You can go up and cut cost base. Sd could then flip safc as planned. The savage cuts to recruitment team meant our trading was abysmal and ensured we'd be stuck down here for an extra season. Vandalism of the academy means we'll be stuck here potentially force very long time

If they didn't cut costs there'd be no footy klerb, which bit don't you get?
Mini Moyles cost us promotion

Cost cutting went too far though. Sd actually stated we made profit and we're likely to this year. If they'd correctly funded academy and recruitment they'd have a better chance of promotion and have more assets to sell if required. Simple football admin 101. Can't blame Moyes for sd's faults.
