I think we're just like any other club now. No turning back to the heights of brilliance until we behave like a big club rather than just be like a big club. There is no denying there is potential and resources at the club but unless we use those resources we are still on the edge of brilliance now.
It's all mathematics for me. Now if the club stay in cautious zone (question: is there a cautious zone?) then we can insure... not taking risks to the detriment of finance and the team but in my view, if there is detriment we can sell players and utilise finance to our benefit.
In order to successful one needs to creative in their risks - in that there is always a buffer to fall back on. I think the temptation of bigger and bigger profits just removes the possibility or the temptation to be business minded and take risks. I just can't ignore the fact that real brilliance comes not from opportunity (where even the rich lose their money) but from being creative. Give me 50 Richard Bransons for every Bill Gates.
Bill Gates took his opportunity of an emerging Computer industry and basically took ideas of the time and made them his zone. Basically a 70s version of Simon Cowell/Fuller. Richard Branson was more of an investor who built from the bottom up in the more riskier areas of multiple industries and pushed boundaries and fought competition rather than stole the competition.
We are more of a Bill Gates and it's boring. Reminds me of that scene in Mary Poppins where the kids go to the banks and are told their pound will be one pound 1 pence in a year or something.
One of the most insightful things, therefore, I have heard regarding our position is to invest in the team from all ends - youth, experienced and maturity. I think we have the basis for this as a team. There appears to be zero faith and belief in players and that is the frustration we see as they blame each other when they have no control or even any autonomy on the pitch when all aspects of the game are controlled to a clinical boredom.
This is more of a city boys sad playground - no money but lots of money to watch grow.
So we're not making any money. We're just accumulating it. No fun in that.
