I was responding to the post about it being wages holding us back. My point being how did a team that was in a relegation fight suddenly ( and it was sudden - look at the form table from when Emery took over) become top 4? What players did Emery buy in Janaury 23 or summer 24 that we could not afford (fees and wages)?

It isn’t always about what players you sign or how much you pay in wages.

The fact Emery turned that side around so quickly just goes to show that they were performing far far below their true potential.
Poch has said previously that when we got to the Champ Lge final the board celebrated as if they had won it. To get to the final was all they wanted ,rather than pushing on and winning it .
If Poch actually said that then he is talking absolute waffle.

The board would have zero impact on the team or squad between the semi final and the final (they couldn’t exactly buy anybody to strengthen the team could they?)

Also - if they are only about the money, then they would have 100% been bothered about us winning or losing given the prize money and potential benefits.

Of course they celebrated - we all did. It doesn’t mean they didn’t care about winning it or not. Even if for different reasons.

Poch didn’t help by playing an injured Kane and saying he would leave if we one. Not sure the walking on hot coals helped either.

So, according to O’Keefe we are being purposefully handicapped financially until some outside party invests? That is a downer. I get we are rigidly frugal, but purposefully inhibiting our ability to spend within our means is tantamount to sabotage.

Hope this investment bullshit gets done by the end of the season, because this sideshow is sickening.

International break and we lost the game leading up to it, oh this thread is going to be so back, bigger than ever before.

Constant talk of a takeover, I just don't see one happening. Levy is far too difficult to work with

I wouldn’t pin your hopes on this happening any time soon, or indeed it being the panacea to all of our ills.

It’ll happen when it happens, then we’ll have to wait and see how the new owners play things out.

I agree with the first bit it ain’t happening soon. However I think a sale would change the energy dramatically, everyone at the club knows it’s money over football. To have fresh hope with the players, fans will change a lot.
