On-field success in today’s football is almost entirely dependent on one major factor. Investment by the owners in quality players. Look through the leagues from Chelsea down to Eastleigh and you will see that there’s a direct correlation between money spent on players and games won.
Look at Bournemouth and compare with Blackpool. Look at Southampton and compare with Coventry.
Sacking the manager or changing formation are maybe short term fixes but they’re sticking plasters. There will never be anything other than decay and decline under these owners. Minimum £5m possibly £10m needs to be spent on players to get out of this crappy division fast. Not going to happen.
We’ve all been starved of any kind of success for decades and things are worse now than ever before and like everyone else I look with envy at Leicester, WBA, Saints, Stoke, even Forest and Derby. All clubs that we should be competing with. Changing the manager or formation isn’t going to achieve that.
Agreed, SISU aren’t responsible for all our problems. Previous owners played their part but the sharp decline in the last three years is due to SISU focussing on the freehold rewards of the Ricoh and abandoning any interest in football success.
Investment and therefore success will never happen under SISU.
