We went from being a club with identity to one that has none. We went from being a stable club to one that has a revolving door on the manager's office. We've seen the waste of a once-in-a-generation player trading treasure trove by his handing it to a numbskull he hired. We're now in massive debt to Moshiri and a bank (and if Moshiri gets his way we'll be over a half a billion in debt to local authorities and private investors).
Now please can YOU address MY point about the Chinese bank loan and where it fits in with "der Mosh 'as got diss lads"?
Of course Dave we will have a new 50k plus stadium on a prestigious site to go with the level of debt.
Are you suggesting we should have no debt on a new stadium, it could be built cheaper or maybe not built at all ?
The interest rate is better than that at a bank , so what is so terrible about this form of debt.It is going to have to be with some institution.
We went from being a club that was fast becoming irrelevant to a club that is stirring again and at least trying to become a big player.
In modern day football we are no longer regarded as a big club, we are a middle tier club and without root and branch change that was going to get worse rather than better.
The motto of NSNO has not meant anything in a long time , we simply have not had the resources needed to be regarded as a top club.
Last year we made lots of bad signings but at least we were out there swinging... no more knife to a gunfight.
This year again we have tried to match the big clubs in terms of spending and hopefully this year the results will be better.
I look at Spurs who made no signings at all and although their team was far ahead of ours last season in football if you are not moving forwards then you are moving backwards, Utd also cannot be happy with their signings.
We have brought in players with an average of 24 for relatively little cost, relatively speaking... it is down to the manager and his staff now.
