    Why buy a club and sit back and make it struggle every season - this model is utter rubbish you can’t continue to make profit on young talent and hope to move forward when the club is stagnating - put up or piss off and I don’t mean spend 10’s of millions just give us some hope FFS

    It's a slow burn apparantly. We have to be patient. We will reach the promised land on a shoe string budget. And Ritzmaier holds his position. There are positives to take.

    That's what he just said. Don't spend millions. And I agree, we need more than sunday league and gamble players at this level

    I've very nearly had enough. If things don't improve soon I'm going to walk away. I'll give them another decade to get their s**t together. Maybe two. Certainly no more than three, then after that I'll have to seriously consider my position.

    Someone needs to call them out on where all the money is going.

    I don't expect them to start spending all their own cash but where the chuff is all the money from player sales going? And can they actually prove it costs a million a year to maintain a concrete and metal structure? Or that the £6m from promotion last time was spent on 'admin Costs'?

    I’m not defending them, but I think it’s pretty high profile right now the issues facing football clubs continuing to be viable behind closed doors.

    I’ll wait for the accounts but I would guess that the majority of the money is keeping us afloat in the absence of any direct owner input.

    I don’t have a problem with that side of things. I do have a problem that we’re having to bring on Victor at half time (nothing against the lad either. He just isn’t good enough)

    There are alternatives you know? One might be to confess that they have absolutely no intention of bringing in the quality needed to compete at this level. I’d respect them for doing so.

    I have issues in that my money is helping keeping the club afloat but, as far as I can see, the owners are not putting in a single penny of their own (and have actually got themselves embroiled in a dispute about paying the balance to the people they bought it from). Unless you know otherwise.

    but thats how football should work - fans pay for tickets (or in this case iFollow subscription) - The owners have never said they would put money in but are trying to run the club as a business - if they can improve it they may well sell it on at a profit, if it gets worse they lose money. They arent taking money out of the club either - and Wigan are a good example of what happens when a club relies on owners putting money in every month.
    if you want to support a club without putting Money in go and pick a sucessful premiership side to "support"

    I think the owners are getting unfair stick here - they appointed struber and backed him - only sold one player from last seasons team and added a "striker" in Frieser and another Defender - I am sure both at Strubers. There is little doubt they have tried to bring in a striker but there are wage constraints - Last summer was a transfer disaster - I really dont think we can say the same this time

    It may be how football should work. But it’s not the way it actually does. Presumably you think that Struber and Stendel and Heckingbottom were all bleating about nothing then? Utterly disillusioned...

    Do we want to be a nursery club though? Or do we want to try to get back to the 2nd tier where we've spent most of our time ?
