They're so dense that when it all falls apart they'll blame the EFL/council/government and when baldy and touchdown sail off with their huge interest loans called in and the club is in the shit again they'll be crying for them to come back.
To even have a hope of building and fulling a stadium of that size they’d have to be not only in the prem but competing with the top sides. It’s just not going to happen especially when they are struggling in the championship after spending a fortune on players.
It’s just deluded Americans thinking if they build it, they will come. It doomed Darlington and it’ll ruin them if they aren’t careful

Spending untold millions in the Championship and failing is nothing new. Stoke have been doing it for years. Other clubs are in serious financial difficulties from trying to buy their way out. Top priority is getting a good manager. Then you need to buy a team and not just the overvalued players you can manage to bring in. 5m isn't much for a Championship quality player these days. You need 11 of them just for the 1st team. How about the reserves?
You can spend money in the Championship and still do it well. We're not exactly spendthrifts.
The key is buying players you're confident will have a re-sale value with a couple of experienced heads (Grimes) sprinkled in when you don't feel like you're far away.
Spunking 10 mil on a 30 year old striker that has only succeeded at the dog and duck and been kicked out of the french league is a recepie for failure.
We've only spent what we've had coming in from players we've sold.
Of course you can do it well. All you have to do is look at our own club. But it's much easier to do it badly. It's OK buying expensive players but you still need to fill the gaps in your team/squad.
