He may be ruthless, but I doubt he's a dummy?

I think the trophy cabinet club value etc compared to the club he bought for £1 from Uncle Ken might tell you different.
Abramovich is not a dummy thats insulting.
Hes a ruthless businessman. Fail to deliver get a delivery mans job.

11 managers in 10 years ok some silverware but nothing compared to the longtevity of Ferguson, or the Liverpool regime of promoting from within, football under ruthless business men has lost touch with its fan base and reality like I said before it's just a plaything for people like Abravomich, ok money needed in any walk of life but prefer an Andy Holt or God bless him Eric Whalley.

Delivery men probably can't afford the ticket prices either range from £50 to £89 a game.

If that's true Twenty Eight it just makes me realise how glad I am to have been born in Accrington and not Chelsea......

My point proven these new owners just play roulette with management, Klopp and Moyes part of the new world in football ownership. You can't stop the world of progress but it isn't always for the best.

These are the same owners who huddle together in secret meetings about how " they " should dictate the structure and running of football.

and what real improvment has happened at that club during this time. they might have been in the same position if they had kept the first guy in the job. remember as a kid in the mid 50,s. knew who all the players were but only knew who the manager was because my dad told me after one of his rants at the game and had know idea about directors/owners at all. now it seems owners and managers are the important ones for all fans.

cashman · 26-01-2021, 10:33

probably cos they have to be theres odd good uns like ours and loads of bad uns in my view. think we been very lucky,
