There’s no evidence that any loans have been taken out at BFC or that millions have been pocketed by the current owners , they are signing players on 4 yr deals , that’s where any transfer money gained has gone as far as I can see but these guys will get their money back on buying the club from Cryne , that’s football

There’s definitely a loan.

In answer to your three questions :-

1, No Stendel should not have been sacked. Clearly and in part answer to question 3 I think he had the welfare of the Club staff and supporters at heart more than the owners. In the close season he lost the spine of the team and many of his best players. He was given a load of replacements not of his choosing. The resultant team would maybe good enough to win promotion from EFL Div 1, but not good enough to survive in the championship. Stendel knew what was needed to prosper in the championship. If the board did they ignored what Stendel wanted because it did not fit their business model.
2, The club's statement on Stendel's departure was a disastrous example of PR that completely misread or failed to understand the culture of football in England.
3, The owners may think that they HAD the welfare of the club at heart, but their actions clearly demonstrate by what is unravelling, they do not.
Management style seems more suited to "American Authoritarianism" ( M. McWilliams PhD University of Massachusetts). They would appear to be treating BFC like sports teams in the US, that is as a franchise. The supporters (not fans) are secondary to the business. Their silence over the past week is probably because they don't know how to proceed and best manage the situation.

I have similar concerns about the ownership as I have stated quite a few times now. You may be correct about your comment about US sports teams. I wouldnt know. I can understand your views on Stendel's sacking although in the longer term who knows if it might be a blessing in disguise. We'll see.
