Honestly, I’d love to believe it might happen, I really would, but after 15 years of KSE ownership I’ve stopped hoping that we’re going to win the billionaire lottery. It’s crystal clear to me now that there’s no instant fix for us with these people in charge - they won’t fund it and, as Global rightly says, I doubt they even have a vision for the club to sell, much less the ability to sell it. If we’re going to dig ourselves out of this mess then we’re going to have to do it ourselves, without the owners’ support and leadership and with the club’s own resources.
Get rid of Arteta, fine - he’s really fucked me off with his last couple of interviews - but can we at least have some kind of acceptance and agreement that the new guy will have to be able to succeed in the exact same conditions, and that it probably won’t be a Conte or Zidane?
