Same old simple approach here I’m afraid. This idea in order to get good players you need mass funding.
Far from the truth, better recruitment is at the heart of it. |  |

Not sure my salary would stretch to it, to be honest.
If the club was part of a big, profitable business owned by someone with a fortune in the hundreds of millions, I’m sure it could find a way. | | | |

It could be a collective effort maybe. Just 25k Adults buying a season ticket out of solidarity with the owner, whom they would also like to pony up a bit more. |  | | |

Why would someone who is worth all that money and made all that profit simply burn tens of millions of it just because people want him to? | |

Director of Football and some better scouts would be a good start. |  |

Why does it require mass funding?
Look at the teams above us. I'll be honest I barely know half of their starting line-ups but they have managers who are able to get the best out of what's available to them. That's what a good manager should be able to, rather than throw money at the situation.
A better manager would get more out of this squad. Simple. |  | | |

Because the OP said “buy”. | |

No one forced him to buy the club. |  |

Very true.
But the game has moved on, got much richer and we’ve been left behind. That’s not entirely ME’s fault. | |

We’ve only got left behind because he’s screwed up pretty much every major decision he’s had to make. It’s his failure we’re sliding under him. He needs to own it and do something different or sell up and clear off. |  |

I have some sympathy for that, although I think you could also argue that it was fairly clear in which direction football was trending finance wise. The championship took a while to catch up to the PL spending (relatively) but was always likely to.
The fact he didn't really seem to have a plan beyond chuck 10m at it and hire Roy Keane wasn't good enough and meant we've been falling ever since that didn't work out, MM aside. | |

Yes, I get all that and I’m certainly not a ME apologist.
As you say, his plan when he came in didn’t extend much beyond chuck RK and £10m at it.
And when that didn’t work, he’s made bad decision after bad decision.
And in the meantime, the game has moved on massively, not just in the Prem but in the Champ as well....it’s now too rich for ME and L1 suits him and the budget he can / will run to.
I’ve no idea what his end game / exit plan can be, but he knows he’s stuck with a lame horse and can’t get rid of it. He’s now the guy at the poker table only playing the blinds and hoping the miracle hand turns up to luck his way out of it.
However, continually making bad decisions (five year contract to PL being the latest mind-boggler), he simply continues to shoot himself / us in the foot. | |
