If anyone thinks a large private equity company is going to keep funding us they are mad. The funding is done and we are on our own. It was always going to happen, my gripe is they have pulled the plug before all these extra (so called)revenue streams have really taken off, so we have to sell to buy. doc, jota, Mir etc have been the start of it they just haven’t re invested any of it back in and have obviously used that money to pay dividend out to shareholders. The reality is we don’t have the benfica or dortmund quality set up where they can sell to buy really well and maintain strong teams as 1. We don’t have the quality young players coming through and 2. The people to manage it correctly.
We literally have no money and Neves not being sold proves they don’t and we will be relegated unless he is sold to reinvest back in. The only way around it is if fosun realise they need to invest big in this window like 5 years ago and have the same set up till the next re fresh.
They won’t and I don’t care what they say in terms of “doing thing differently” we will not progress under them, they have closed the purse. They are business people not football lovers !! That’s why I want them out, the model they are trying to create isn’t ready yet and they pulled the plug far too soon
