Seriously, with the majority stake in the club, how would you change the club. I'm interested, because I want to see whether your logic regarding the football side of things, balances with the financial.
1) Get rid of the we're doing well mentality we have at the club (losers attitude), winning is the aim and everything else has to be considered a disappointment, if we don't win we don't win but let's no celebrate coming 4th

2) Make some money available to bring in "quality" players, not kids, not nobodies but more established players who know what it takes to win, perhaps include leaders in this

3) Highlight the need to fix the problem areas urgently by whatever means necessary (if top coaches are required bring them in)

4) Back to basics approach where players must do the basics well, pretty football is desirable but must come 2nd to a players ability to do a job in their chosen position

5) Discourage playing players out of position except when necessary, if players are needed for a particular position find specialist players for those positions

6) Point out that it's the managers job to manage and that he doesn't need to worry about the money side

7) A balancing of youth vs experience, signing youths is fine in moderation but not instead of experience

8) Demand a plan of action for how we plan to move forward to achieve our goals in the next 5 years
