Why we dont 'need' investment

Still more to come from Gibbo as well lads, ive seen him play further forward and he isnt half bad.

Davey seems reluctent to big him up, i think hes the kind of lad who needs a Glaswegian volley every so often.
 
We need investment, every club needs investment.

We are in our current poistion inspite of Kenwrights mismanagement.

I meet a lad in work who admited to clapping to Kenwrights face on the big screen last year; he accepted he had messed up previously, that the kings dock was a huge missed opportunity, that kirkby was a bad idea, that the board lied numerous times, BUT he still though Bill was a good blue so was happy to applaude him.
 

The stick Kenwright gets, I can (to a point) accept & understand. The stick Moyes gets is beyond belief IMO given the resources at his disposal & those who dish it out generally crawl under a rock when we invariably start winning a few & then jump out with their venom & bile straight after a defeat.
 
The following clubs have had investment and in the past we have been envious of them and wished to have what they have.

Aston Villa
Portsmouth
Birmingham
Liverpool

These clubs have actually gained nothing since their investment and in some cases have crashed and burned. Do we really want some random American to take us over akin to Aston Villa. Their fans on the forums are saying this should be their first XI
------------Guzan--------------
Hutton-Vlaar-Baker-Warnock
-------------Herd----------------
-------KEA---------Delph------
------------Ireland--------------
-----Wiemann------Bent--------

How poor is that team, i almost feel sorry for them that fans similar to us who were in a similar position to us are coming up with such a load of garbage, that team could be going down. If we had taken some random investment back when Villa did then this could have been us. There is only 2 clubs with the type of investment with any kind of positive result and that is City and Chelsea. I still feel that both these clubs will struggle when their owners leave.

It prompts the question, do we really need investment? Good management financially coupled with the pending financial fair play rules could work in our favour without having to get anyone in. If we keep producing through the youth team then we simply cant go wrong with our current policy, the chances of getting bad investment is a lot higher than getting good investment so no investment at all could be the best answer.

I don't know if it's been said, but that team has nothing to do with investment. It has more to do with a shocking selection of managers!

I'm still 'Moyes out' even after two wins, for the record.
 

I wouldn't try to. I just think he'd lost his way a bit.

Mind, I also wouldn't deny that he's done well for us so far this season. If he keeps it up, I'd be happy to eat my words.

That's big of you I'm sure - quite how you can maintain a 'Moyes out' stance at present, makes zero sense to a 30 yr sth holder like me. You lack perspective (& sense IMHO) my friend.

Ah, so earlier you were implying because I had a different opinion to you I must not go to games and now you're implying it's because I haven't been to enough games.

Fair enough, mate. You tell me what to think from now on and I'll just mimic your opinion. Wouldn't think of disagreeing with my betters.
