Worst scout to ever exist
We can compete, financially, regardless. As much as I can agree that the Glazers are not good owners, I have never understood this rhetoric over the past decade plus that our ownership model prevents us from competing in the transfer market, despite annual evidence to the contrary. Unless what we are after is total financial dominance over every other club in the world, the narrative is just clearly false.
Essentially we don't need or don't even want an owner to come in and pump money in. We need an owner who clears debts, doesn't take money out of the club and manages it well. So that the money we earn every year stays within the club. The money gets reinvested into the club to constantly improve and renovate facilities, and goes towards the squad/staff. It needs good decision makers who will just be in charge but not look at it as a tool to make money. Sure, increase valuation overall, but don't take out money or manage the business poorly.We can compete - but not the same way as if we were debt free or having money taken out by the glazers
If the glazers didn't a) load us with debts, b) didn't take money out of the club and c) hired someone smart to handle the club, then that's all they would have needed to do to be good owners.
