I'm probably in the minority on here but I don't think FSG have been terrible owners. They took us from a top 6 club with limited aspirations and not significant silverware to a European powerhouse that has CL, PL trophies among others. They renovated the stadium and surrounding area and have bought players while breaking transfer records. I do think they should have spent more money on transfers and feel they have not taken advantage of what they had. I think they should sell and unfortunately if we want to compete with City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Madrid, Bayern etc....We need a big investor with big pockets. But, I remember the wilderness years. I remember H & G and bad players and worse coaches. But FSG don't deserve all the hate that they're getting. They made us relevant again and I wouldn't trade the last 8 years for anything. It's been amazing.
FSG have been good owners of the club - there have been some bumps along the road but their ownership has seen the club massively improve both on and off the pitch
In 91 we started a fall from Grace as we watched Utd over take us - they sorted out off the pitch and built on the pitch , they turned themselves into a commercial monster and they took advantage of the new money and the Prem - we stood still , we had the odd fleeting glory moments - 01 , 05 but we never really got near get that league again and then we nearly fell apart under H&G
FSG went about getting the club back to the top and we have done - some will give them fa credit for anything but they have played their part being where we are and what we have done over the last 8 years.
If anyone thinks they haven’t been good owners then either they weren’t around before 2012 or they only look at ownership in regards spending money on players. And right now a drop in form gives some the fuel to go at them again - Christ imagine what it would have been like when we went 7 years without winning anything under Shanks
If they do sell the club then I hope people would have the grace to thank them. And let’s hope whoever comes in fits everyone’s wishes
