This idea that it is ENIC fault we haven't won trophies is nonsense. No-one, or nothing short of nobbling referees or financial doping (like Man City) can guarantee trophies. All you can do is bring the club up to the level when it can compete, and then whatever happens on the pitch happens and hopefully if you keep plugging away and trying to do the right things you win something.
ENIC have done that, we have been there or thereabouts for a long time. The reason we haven't won anything is a) some pretty bad luck (because let's face it, trophies like the FA are a lot about luck), b) it just hasn't happened, c) all the self-defeating pressure you f*ckers put on the club.
What do people think will happen if we get taken over by new moneybags owners? Do you think we'll go on a massive spending spree like City? And then get banned from Europe because we've broken the rules? What is the point in that? ENIC know the club and have built it into what it is now - a far, far bigger, better club than it was when they took over.
Nothing will positive will change if we get new owners. We just have to be competitive at the top level - which we have until our recent hiccups - and then be patient because it will happen. I'm not entirely sure I get this insane lust for silverware anyway, will winning the FA or the League cup change anything? No. Not a jot.
What people are really advocating when they say they hope we get new owners is that they hope we start basically cheating like Man City. Sorry, but I will never agree with that.
