I can't fault them on last summers Business to be honest, they laid down the foundations and backed the men they placed in charge to deliver the goods.
Whether the men in charge of delivering the goods are the right men for the job, is a whole other debate.
This is why posts like this one make zero sense and come off as knee-jerky to me:
I'm really scared for the immediate future of our club with these owners.
Really scared. Sick to the back teeth of people defending them just because it's the easier thing to do, they want to be right and have come too far with their arguments or are just too F***ing thick to see it.
Mediocrity beckons with them. In fact it's nearly here already. They haven't got a F***ing clue what they're doing with us with regards to turning us into a force again.
It's going to take us sinking to dangerous lows until a lot of our support wake up and take their heads out of their arses and enable a full on revolt.
They F***ing disgust me and some of the support for them just as much.
I F***ing hate them with a passion.
Not one F***ing clue.
Because everyone was delighted with our business last transfer window. We lost Luis, spent all of the money plus ÂŁ40m more and despite everyone being down about Luis leaving the overwhelming majority ranked from satisfied to very happy with our transfer business.
By the way, defending them is not the easy thing to do. Because the job they've done is not an easy feat.
Alas someone has to be targeted for this mess of a season and while it's easy to shoot at the top, it's the middle men i have the biggest problem with.
A lot of money was given, it was spent, and it was spent on complete and utter trash. Don't tell me for one second that a squad that had ÂŁ120m spent on it is finishing 6th because that is where we deserve to finish based on our level of spending.
Who gave that money? Owners. Who spent it? Brendan and his CHOSEN committee.
Yet the person who is defended is the guy who says "I'll go if they want me to go". The most pathetic line i have seen from a manager in a long time.
5th season in to their ownership and what did they promise us would happen?
Clearing the squad - done.
Debt reduced and manageable - done.
Backing the manager - DONE!
Strong financially and competitive - done.
Brendan said to judge him after 3 seasons and what has happened?
- First season = 7th.
- Second season = 2nd.
- Third season= 6th.
Transfers? sh*te.
Tactics? sh*te.
Game management? sh*te.
Do you think another manager couldn't get top four or challenge for the title if they were given ÂŁ211m to spend in three seasons?
Remember when people wanted the club to be self-sufficient and to continually spend that ÂŁ40m or so each window to remain competitive? Yeah we've done that and Brendan and his committee spunked it on Allen, Borini, Balotelli, Lovren and Moreno amongst other car-crashes.
Crashing out of the cup competitions embarrassingly bar one cup-run in the League Cup.
My only massive gripe is they didn't show for Stevie's last match at Anfield. That was pathetic.
Other than that, i like that they are never in the media.
And people saying they are in it for a quick buck - the quick buck won't be realised for at least another 5 seasons and that makes it a decade in between purchasing and selling. Hardly "quick" is it?
