No one said they were.

The owners said, "we'd like to get out of this league this season, but it could take 2 or 3 seasons"

Or certainly words to that effect.

Classic Sunderland, classic Portsmouth, classic Bolton, classic ...

We are funding a team to get out of this league. What are you suggesting that we should be doing differently?

Anything but promotion this season, with this squad and budget, is failure for Cook.

I think the ownership are being very generous and likely not entirely truthful

I would suggest such an expensively assembled team wins more games.

Completely agree with you. I very much doubt the ownership will tolerate failure this season. Nor should they. So far our record of P18 W6 D6 L 6 - isn’t good enough. Cook and the players need to do better.

They're doing what good owners do and publicly backing their manager.

Of course there will be a breaking point but they're not going to tell Cook what it is, let alone the fans.

Indeed.

The way some fans ‘believe’ the public statements is sweet, but as you say naive.

This squad is budgeted for promotion. Some of these players won’t stick around for a second season in L1 either

Quite. You've got to question how well someone making such a statement knows football*.

* I'm not qualified to comment on tactics/ substitutions/ formations etc and don't.

* I am very well qualified to comment on how the boards of professional football clubs work.

And a manager with a track record of promotions gets promoted.

The way they’re playing as a collective I wonder which players would be attractive to clubs at a higher level? Edmundson and Morsy, maybe, plus Bonne if he can start scoring again.

... and this is what will worry the owners the most.

Spot on. I would add that Americans are not exactly known for their benign patience, especially when it comes to sport.

The cook disciples will not like you for saying that. But you are right. The most expensive team assembled in L1 is doing worse that Lamberts so called pile of sh1te from last season!

My money is on just outside the playoffs

No chance this team and manager are getting promoted way to inconsistent

Cook out Warnock in

I suspect you're right about where we'll end up. I'd rather nail my testicles to the floor than have Warnock here though!

And I trust Ashton to make the right appointment.

Again, it should be reminded, Cook isn’t their pick.

What owners say to the public as opposed to their thoughts in private, that actually matter, are usually pretty different.
