General The new owners of OUFC and their plans and actions

[Symp59]

That's OK to say when it's not your money or club. Let's be honest if you lose massive you walk away we need a ground we need great backers of the club which we have. If we get the ground we will end up with the Italian manager the players the fans .Iam just watching Man City 2-0 down now 3-2 up its a different world. I just want a ground, come on OCC and a club to continue to support 52 years on and hopefully more to go .

Brentford had a trading lost £53m y/e 30/6/21 before transfers and made £44m in transfer so lost £9m before tax and had a trading loss of £34m and made £25 from transfers and lost £9m before tax for y/e 30/6/21. They are currently valued at around £200m.
That defines the high risk nature of football investment.

The year Brentford got promoted from the Championship their salary bill was eye watering and the biggest in the league. It didn’t live up to the “little Brentford” image but their transfer market activity over the past 5 years or so has been excellent to balance some of this.

Surely the way to do it is to do what Sheffield United did under Wilder

He managed to get them promoted to the Championship, stabilise and then get promoted to the Premier the following season.

In their first game back in the top league seven of their side had been on the pitch when we played them in League 1 at our place

Baldock and Lundstram for us plus five of their own
Wilder spent very little money on overseas big money transfers and the first season they did pretty well.

Thats when they needed to invest more with the money they were getting,point is it can be done

That works if the players are good enough, unfortunately that is rare. But it was also part of the reason they returned to the Championship after their brilliant first season in the Premiership.
Wilder also found a system with centre backs breaking forward that teams didn't expect. That surprise factor only lasts a short while.
Ultimately teams evolve, players leave, players form drops, the managers message becomes jaded and fans expect over achieving as the norm hence expectation and the pressure changes. Investing in new players when the s**t hits the fan is too late.
