    You are very generous with other peoples money.........

      Still, those Asians are all the same, eh?

        I don't know the numbers but Tan did spend big getting to the premier League. Unfortunately unlike Leicester City's owners he did without any plan whatsoever!

          If it’s so easy why don’t more teams manage it? Hull, QPR and Middlesbrough have spent the same as us and ended up the same (or worse in Hull’s case) place as us. Fulham and Norwich have been relegated 3 times and Brighton have never finished higher than 15th. All these teams have spent double what we have.

          As far as I’m aware Tan doesn’t own all those teams too so what’s their excuse for not doing a Leicester?

            I think Tan could have spent his money more wisely.

            Leicester have invested in the infrastructure and built a new training complex if I remember rightly. They also seem to have a better connection with the City and community. Seems to be a much more holistic approach there to make sure they are secure and competitive long term.

            On top of that they have made some shrewd manager selections and good signings. Some of which they have made a good profit on when sold.

            We seem to have spent an awful lot of money on bang average players, only to see them leave the club for a fraction we spent or for nothing.

            It seems very naïve for such an experienced business man. Proves you need high level football/sport people at the top too to advise.

              Exactly this..Tan had the money to do a Leicester. In fact he spent the money to do a Leicester but he did so in the most shambolic way without any semblance of a sensible plan. We are where we are because of him and it's nothing more than he deserves. He can still fix this if he wants but he has to change as his way does not work.

                not everyone who succeeds will have had a good plan, and not everyone who failed had a bad plan.
                sometimes teams have a completely shit plan and win, others do everything right but somehow lose. luck and other random factors play a bigger part in success than a lot of people are prepared to acknowledge.
                I'm not in any way suggesting that we had a good plan by the way. just we shouldn't just copy whoever the latest flash in the pan are without careful consideration.
                on the other hand it would be REALLY unlucky to accidentally copy someone who had a worse strategy than us.
