The Elephant In The Room

I've never understood why the Teds use that to try to score points of off us. I'd love it if the Al Qadis had masses of money to spend on the club, but it's hardly something you'd trot out in support of a claim that yours is the better team. 'We can buy ourselves any amount of success, so it doesn't matter how sh** we are!'

Having said that I'd love it if the Al Qadis had masses of money to spend on the club, what I'd love even more is obvious evidence that the family have the best interests of the club at heart and news of a solid practical plan getting under way to ensure it's future success, even if it does have to mean 'careful' spending. Surely one of the brains they keep hiring and parting company with can come up with something. Wasn't there a guy involved with the design of Wembley Stadium on board at one point? Good grief. Get real, and get on with it. A couple of passing mentions of revamping the Mem and a few clever but useless soundbites don't indicate progress. 'Evolution not revolution' is all very well, as long as you're evolving in the right direction and not backwards into bog paper like yesterday's trees.

We don't need every last detail of future plans, just something considerably more substantial than we're getting now. We're investors too, even without financial return involved - nobody buys match tickets or shirts etc for a club that will be dead on it's arse tomorrow, so it ought to be obvious that we're expecting a club with a future in return for our money. A proper explanation of how that's going to happen before the Mem drops to pieces around the new(ish) scoreboard would be nice.
