yes, but he would be the one credited with getting us there. a big injection of capital at the very least is exactly what we need to break our current shackles of subsisting on the smell of an oily rag. it's hard for us to do anything but tread water at the moment. Tinkler will provide that injection, and he's finally talking numbers that actually make some sense.
we need him to erase the sins of our past, as much as anything. a big debt from administrators of yesteryear really stifles us, and keeps us treading water rather than flying. we post modest profits most years, but it only takes a disaster like 2005, and we register a sizable loss in that year, which of course gets added to the debt, and the interest that the debt accrues etc. money isn't going to fix this like some magic potion, but it's necessary to implement the changes that are needed. a sizable increase in our front office staff will be in order for sure. while Brian Smith was busy spending heaps of extra money on football operations, i get the feeling that the front office was squeezing every last penny from elsewhere to make it happen. remember we were literally training out of shipping crates 4 or so years ago.
the board knows it needs to happen as much as anyone (i know of at least 1 member that has told me as much directly). they may look dumb in the papers, but they're not borderline geniused. we need money if anything is to change.
who, exactly, wants to knock this back?
