Given a choice I'd be 100% behind Parish's judgment, and I'd give no credence at all to Donner and Blitzen, when it comes to deciding who's the best man for the job. To be fair to Parish, they give him the green light on Benteke and then the purse snaps shut for the duration; hardly fair. I'd rather they put their efforts into helping him get the stadium work underway, after all that's what they're supposed to be on board for, because they know fcuk all about football.

Is the correct answer. Wasn't it American investors that saddled Birmingham with Zola? Nearly got them relegated from a position of being promotion contenders. Would Parish tell them who should manage their baseball clubs? ============ The Ferret ============

Would Parish tell them who should manage their baseball clubs? At the back of my mind, and I expect that of many others, I had a premonition that the US investment business might one day lead to tears, I just didn't think that it might happen so soon. If any of this is true, and the length of the delay suggests that something is amiss, we've got ourselves in a bit of a pickle here. I suppose SP is just going to have to try and cut the best deal he can, but I'm concerned that, if this is the future, he'll sell out at some point. Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing?

Foreign owners normally get bored , after a while. They're investors not fans. I'm sure if the Americans were offered there money back they'd sell. Edited by Dan89 (21 Jun 2017 4.24pm) Another Damien Diagonal - Total Football

Ultimately if we are in the brown stuff come January they will have to open the purse hugely to avoid a catastrophic loss with relegation. Makes more sense to push the boat out now rather than be forced to with less of a chance down the line.

Makes more sense to push the boat out now rather than be forced to with less of a chance down the line. Agreed, but my worry is that they just don't get it. They seem to think, if any of this is true of course, that if you've spent x last summer and y at Christmas, why do you need to spend z this summer. To want to appoint a manager on the sole criterion that he works cheap is the road to disaster. I'm wondering if PL football was ever properly explained to them.

Its quite remarkable how many people (on here at least) feel they can offer an opinion on what the American investors do or don't think, say or want to do. How exactly do any of you know? Have you spoken to them? To look at what happened at other clubs who happen to have American investors and draw any sort of comparison is ridiculous.
