Where do I begin? Oh yeah, our owner. If there was an award for the most incompetent, money saving, deceitful owner of football, hands down he'd win.
Before he came, we were in europe and in cup finals and a big club, who never won anything but we were respected. Under Ashley's ownership we have become a joke of a club who has to battle relegation every season.
We have a world class manager and Rafa deserves better.
And then we have the players. This is proof that buying cheap players isn't the way to invest in a club. The majority of players we have don't seem to have any pride or passion for the club. They are just there for their paychecks.
I remember when we bought quality players. Michael Owen was rubbish for us but at least we could sell him. Nobody seems to want the majority of our players and who could blame them?
Also some fans seem to think we can beat anyone outside the top 4 and when we don't, they are on facebook and twitter calling for Rafa to be sacked. He can only work with what he's got and a new manager isn't the answer. Clearing out, spending money and investing is the answer, but that wont happen under our current ownership.
The transfer window has been a total farce and I fear that we are going down again, as the teams below us are investing and strengthening. We're not.
We used to be a great club, but at the moment we are a shadow of our former selves who need new owners, new backroom staff and new players, otherwise our club is going to get a lot worse. I dont know about anyone else, but I want a club I can be proud of back.
