It's easy to have limitless ambition with someone else's money. One of the chief Evans outers has just said it's not his club, it's ours so how many are willing to donate to the cause?
This answer to this can only be no. Either you don't think we should protest against the owner's investment, or you think he should have invested more long ago and now is too late.

Ok.. if we are not allowed to protest... ....how about pleading, and wringing of hands in desperation with contorted painful expressions, to try and engender some sort of sympathy reaction, which leads to some extra investment?

" Whats wrong with having a competitive squad capable of competing in the champs? Other clubs seem to manage it.
Why is it ok to accept the malaise and just sit on ones hands. "
Do point out where anyone, ANYONE, has said this?
How much should an owner be investing each year?

Well that all depends on how wily your manager is at getting in bargains but I would suggest Evan's has been between 20 and 50 percent below what is needed in the past few years. We were about 20th in wage Bill's last years League. As I said previously to you with a very competent manager like MM it would not have taken more than 5 to 10 million per season to compete well. Lambert was pretty damning about the policy in recent years of getting loads of loanees in and big turnovers every season. Whether that MMs choice of system or a cheaper way of operating forced on him by Evan's who knows.

On average its been about 5m a season.
So you think someone should be putting in double that each season, minimum?
If you protest at ME, do you think that the prospects of investment by him (or by someone else) are (a) the same (b) lower or (c) greater?

In League 1 we could be losing 10m a season anyway, so it would not have been money wasted.
By not investing and allowing relegation could actually cost him more.
Football is still a business and he is a successful businessman is he not? There are still calculated risks to take....
Or maybe he has had another agenda entirely since he owned the club?
Investment should have been in someone who knows how to run a football club. Something both Clegg and Milne have been woeful at.
Investment in the coaching staff and the scouting 'network'
Investment, or just maintaining the infrastructure.
Those bleating out that Evans is 'pumping in money' should take a good look at the stadium and then the squad.
This club has been appallingly mismanaged over the past decade or so under Evans. We are where we are now due to that. Not due to one particular manager, or even CEO but a majority shareholder who has tried to run the club on the cheap at every level.
If others can 'succeed' without this supposed pumped in money why the hell can't we ? Do Millwall, Preston and Rotherham have better support ? What is it that Brentford are doing right that we have not been doing ?
Because however you spin the financial arrangement Evans has with the club it has failed, miserably

All those clubs you've mentioned are comfortably in the bottom half of the division with more chance of being relegated than promoted in the short-medium term.

It wasnt rhetorical- it was innuendo.
If you are unable to offer a suggestion, the honest thing to do would be to withdraw it...
OK lets argue about technicalities of posted statements rather than the theme of the thread.... I'm all for that.... there I did it again... my bad humour

With far lower gates and support, and no money being pumped in, so do explain why we are rock bottom 10 points adrift.

We are rock bottom, 10 points adrift because Hurst inexplicably took a sledgehammer to the team and rebuilt it with inexperienced players from the lower leagues that collectively and on an individual basis do not look good enough.
FWIW I do not disagree with you that Evans has run the club terribly.
Just pointing out that those clubs you've mentioned are all at the wrong end of the table and will likely go down before they are promoted. Does staying up constitute success? I guess it does and that's a sad inditement of how the finances have gone crazy in this league.
