Ogren will have to get a massive slice of luck to get any of his money back through future player sales and I wish him well I really do but if thie model is so successful then why isn't everyone else doing it? Maybe they are to a lesser extent but we seem to be throwing an affy lot of money on one hell of a gamble.
that post is so true .... and worrying. we know what happens when foreign owners wake up and smell the coffee (or sh!te as is SPFL)
