I honestly don't think they are bad owners, they are naive, wet behind the ears, have a few brain farts what ever, they have a few bad idea's, but to see that the idea's are bad I suppose they have to put them to the test before they can rip them up and start all over again.
Take the Committee as an example, an Idea from FSG supported by the Manager, the managing director and the scouting team, every one on board, looks a cracking Idea on paper yeh ? every one is happy, then you need to go through the motions to see if its a success or a failure.
On the evidence so far its been a failure and irrespective of what is being printed in the papers I don't believe for a second that John Henry and FSG are not going to question its failings at the end of season review, whether they see that it is a flawed process or that the people carrying out the the process are not up to the task remains to be seen, but it will be addressed in one way or another in my opinion, Henry's not a simpleton by any means, you don't make the money he has by pissing it up the wall as we seem to have done last summer.
Remember they are not making the decisions on who to sign, they have basically set out the criteria and then entrusted the members of the committee to spend the money on getting the players in that fit that criteria.
It may on whole be a defunct system, but then again look the money spent on some of the players, LLana £25m, Lovren £20m Markovic £20m could better scouts on the committee not have done better business ? I'd say there is a huge possibility that they could have for those figures, then we spent Balotelli £16m, Lambert £4.5m, Origi £9.8m over £30m on three strikers, surely to F**k for £30m having better scouts on the Committee could have turned us up a good striker for £30m ?
So maybe the Committee is not as flawed as first appears but in fact its the people that are operating the Committee that have limited knowledge on players ?
Maybe its a combination of both ?
Maybe its just the Committee and the Criteria ?
One thing I do know the Committee was created to minimize the risk of wasting resources, which ultimately in one sense or another it has failed, that's why I believe regardless of whats being put out in print, it will be getting a post Mortem at the end of season review where either the whole idea of the Committee or the Men chairing it will be called in to question.
