It’s not though it’s about doing research and due diligence, and in some (not most) the recruitment has been poor, to say the least. Goalkeeping and defensively is where it has been highlighted mostly.Quote:

Recruitment can't have been that bad as they've gained a promotion and sat comfortably mid table last year.
I find it absolutely astonishing we’ve got our best owners since Pavis which must be 30 odd years. The best recruitment in 30 odd years. Probably the best off the field revenue ever and cos we’re 2 or 3 players short and other clubs want our players the worlds ending?
We'd have run out of town any previous owners who'd delivered a best league position in 5 years of the bottom half of the 4th division.
We should of course be grateful they saved the club from the mess Hardy made but 5 years on we're still a level below what most of us consider to be par for the club. It's not really a triumph.

Yes it’s a different spin.Quote:

That culminated in us nearly being bust a few times, in the graveyard of the NL which numerous clubs have struggled to get out of with the ridiculous 1 promotion spot out of it.
The best bit is I don’t think any of the owners were really ran out of town, yet the owners that have a net position of a division higher aren’t a triumph 😂😂😂
The day I judge my club to what a Forest fan thinks of it will be a cold day in hell, actually baltic 😂Quote:
