It’s starting to look like you’re the only one who ever thought he was gonna spend “millions and millions”. He never was, never said he was. Haven’t you heard of the FL FFP rules? Haven’t you been watching the recent goings on at Derby?
You're joking aren't you all people went on about on here when he first arrived is how rich he and his family are. Now the only way you would mention that is if you thought he was going to spend fortunes

Do you think if we had a new owner who didn't have a pot to piss in that there wouldn't be absolute ructions on here

There's absolutely no way on earth our fans will put up with another owner who doesn't spend money on quality players in the next few seasons. We've had enough of penny pinching buying absolute dross for peanuts owners

I’ll take that as youre not aware of the concept of FL FFP then.

I think the only reason his wealth is important is that we shouldn't have to sell our academy players like Madrox were doing. There's no way we're gonna be blowing millions, at least not while we're in L1.

Must admit I'm not clued up on exactly how much we can spend but he won't even be spending a modest amount in January and by that I mean 3 or 4 million

We won't be spending millions in the championship either I'm afraid

In FL L1 terms that is not a modest amount. I’d imagine 90% of the clubs down here don’t spend anywhere near that on transfer fees in a calendar year.

We know. You seem to be the only poster who thinks he was going too. FFP prevents this.

His first mistake has been getting far too ‘pally’ with the current coaching staff and manager. He plays football regularly with them at the beacon on a Friday afternoon, stupid thing to do imo.

I'm sure there's ways and means mind

You can look back on here and see dozens of posts from posters expecting him to spend money.

He’s not done that though has he?

He’s invested in the training ground and stadium.
Are they using the training ground ??? Because the standard of our play is getting worse not better. We need plan B now . Because our loaning youngans isnt working. Promotion will be a lost cause by xmas at this rate .
 
the thing is, Simon Jordan, whatever age he was had actually worked very successfully in business before going into football. KLD has never worked a day in his life really. People talk about he studied football at Uni, he flunked out after one year of a degree at Leeds Beckett univeristy in sporsts management, and flunked out of another course at some sort of sports academy after another year. Being chairman of SAFC is literally the first time he has ever worked.
Don’t believe everything you read
 
you dont need to spend millions and millions in this league to progress. Rotherham have spent fuck all and are top of the league.
I'm on about going forward in the next few years not just this season. Say we go up this season, if we want to compete we need to spend a load in the championship as this squad is awful

KLD is literally too young to have done anything much..

define a load?

define a load?
how much did blackpool spend, and they are on the edge of the play offs? Brentford never spent a penny, sold all their good players and went up.

Aye your right we should have just kept Donald and methven if that's the case

Agreed , and I don't think it's a realistic target to recruit say 11 exceptional starters and five "above average" subs . In the third tier all the players are limited in some way, we just need good fitness and a level of individual competence. It's failure in the team system that expose individual players' weaknesses ( e.g. Maguire at Man U ) . I would say if we were going to "buy our way " out of this league it would be safer to overpay for a manager and coaching staff who can impose a coherent consistent achievable style of play.
We looked good in the first part of this season but now the league seems to have found us out and the manager is slow or reluctant of incapable of coming up with a solution.

donald and methven both had more exoerience of running english football clubs than KLD does-unfortuantely that experience proved no help at SAFC where they were incompetent. KLD needs to prove himself competent, not rich, as the former matters more than the latter.
 
On the pitch in any given moment is obviously what we care about.

But KLD has significantly modernised the club in less than 12 months. Some of it may take literally years to come to fruition.

Long term. We have to start thinking long term as well as the here and now.

Best post on this thread
There won’t be a long term if the here and now isn’t resolved. We are 4 years into the ‘here and now’ with absolutely zero improvemeant.
You can't blame KLD for things that happened before he bought the club - in essence "4 years" isn't relevant
