I said at the time that sinking 250+ million on Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia was a mistake. 

The club decided that Gallagher wasn't good enough and used him as a cash cow and then we went on to replace him with Lavia who is made of glass and Felix who is now on loan to another club 😄

Yeah, even if they were all fit constantly it would be very debatable whether they are worth that kind of money.

Enzo for £100m+ really seems like silly business to me at this point, he is just not a player that you can see intuitively slotting in to the PL, its been a long journey trying to figure out how to get value out of him and we still haven't figured it out really. His best performances for us were probably ages ago when he played deep, but he's so limited physically and defensively we were super exposed whenever he played there.

Caicedo should have been the only big money signing of the three imo - overall I'm glad we spent the money on him, even if it was stupidly high - genuinely think he is a special talent and our 2nd best player after Cole. Would have broken into virtually any of our teams going backwards, in some position or another, some way or another, imo.

If I could go back in time I'd pass on both Enzo and Lavia though, unless we're slashing their prices in half at least.

It is extremely hard to see a future in which they make any money on this project

Huge cost to buy it

Sunk insane money into players, most of whom they'll lose money on

At best they might get the club to be year to year profitable so that it can sustainably buy players without further cash injections, but unless we dominate world football for 10 years they'll surely be in massive losses during their entire ownership

Only hope for them is a Saudi buyer wants to pay stupid money to take the project off of their hands

 

Owners will be making a profit, maybe not the club, guaranteed. TV revenue, Boehlys Vivid seats, (touting tickets to foreigners only), match day merch, commercial..they'd drop it like a stone if they suffered losses personally

How can they? We run at a huge loss every year, there is no profit being made here for anyone. They've invested a tonne of money badly and wont get that back either.

Its probably the worst investment of any of their careers - it will be a miracle if they break even

If they were personally losing theyd have fucked off ages ago

We’re 6th atm my prediction was to finish 7th...

It looks like Villa and Brighton can and will go above us and eventually we drop to 9th. Fucking great Eh

So when that sinks in if ever and the demo tomorrow, they might get the idea of where we the supporters stand...

We are shit, they’ve invested badly and have no idea how to run a proper Football club.

I just want these mugs to sell up and to fuck off back to soccerball land and never come back.
