Since the take over of the club, I would like to pose some questions which I believe has left us in a position worse than we were before. Before the merry band of fans that were quick to criticise our club under the old ownership, think first and then comment. Although Briatore and Ecclestone were not the fans favourite in giving us everything we wanted, they handled the clubs finances shrewdley. Lets remember the Mittals were part of this group and they profess to be so interested in the club and its fans, yet were they not the one's who did not think our club was worth that much when making an insulting offer to the above when they are one of the richest families in the world. Again why did they not buy the club?
Instead we are left with Fernandes, West Ham turned down (do they know something we dont), secondly he is part of Formula 1 and not that successful at that, what is his dealings with Ecclestone and how was the deal set up considering Fernandes backers are all Malaysian. I would love to see the papers and where is the money?
Then there was Paladini, I know a number of you did not like him however he was instrumental in getting us into the premier and stuck by us for all those years, even putting his own house and businesses on the line to support our club. How many people would do that? Also how many chairmen can you mention, that has that kind of passion and dedication to his club as he did.
That then brings me on to some of the signings underwritten by a CO (Beard) who has no experience in football at all, allowing players like Barton to have a four year contract at his age and on 89k a week, plus others that are also questionable. No wonder he has stated, the players if we go down will stay with us next year. I think its more, that the club unless they sell them are here to stay on those wages and fantastic contract where their wages remain the same regardless of whether we go down or not. It will be interesting to see if this happens, if the Mittals will be so interested to keep the club afloat when everyone else considers moving on.
Not saying Britore and Ecclestone were the best for the club, but I ask the question would they of allowed some of the decisions that have been made to of gone ahead?
