The real criticism imo should be directed at the footballing decisions. Mainly not backing Poch when we had that great core, and then getting stuck between two minds in the transition out of the era. From a business standpoint we’ve been exceptionally well run. Look at all the sht other big clubs have dealt with. The exception being cheaters. Lots of other big historic clubs (Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa) have been relegated/in the fight. It’s not like Everton haven’t spent money either. Juventus f’ed up their finances. Barcelona f’ed up their finances. Could we cook our books and invest owner money into our club more? Sure. But I’m ok with not being that club.
I think fans have become entitled brats. About half the teams in the EPL gripe and protest about their board/owners. Clearly it’s not easy to run a financially successful and performance successful club. The trophy gripes are old. Would we really trade one FA cup under Poch to be in Everton’s situation?
