WestYorksRoyalMillsy A huge part of the defence of previous owners was that we were investing money into the long-term infrastructure of the club such that the season by season fluctuations were far far less important.
Now we have owners who have put in enormous funds into the infrastructure for long-term gain and people are saying they need to go because we're lower down the table short-term than where we'd like to be.
The criticism is understandable to a degree but mostly ridiculous.
One of the reasons the Chinese have grown leaps and bounds compared to stangant/faltering western nations is that they seem to have a much longer term understanding of success. It totally wouldn't surprise me if they don't give a toss about short-term fluctuations down to league one if their longer-term plan is on course. So do they care? Obviously. Do they care about short term issues of Pauno, possible relegation, etc... Possibly not as much.
So genuine question - could we bottom out in 2 - 3 years in L1 or even L2 but rebuild under the current owners with them having learnt their lesson? I'm not sold unless they get a proper management structure in place with a knowledgeable CEO and DoF.
Unless they keep screwing the pooch, that's not going to happen, they've made mistakes and surely will learn from them, they're not babbling idiots, they're billionaires.
