Where was the research? Did they not look at what they were buying into? Yankee Football, Baseball etc doesn't have a fraction of the passion of the least well supported football clubs over here and I think they thought they could apply their "sports model" and all would go well. Now they see that didn't work, because this is England, not bloody America, they need to make hard decisions - i.e. back their investment or get out, they haven't got the balls to do either and are strangling our club as a result. It's simple: Back Rafa, give him a chance to lay out a 3 year plan, agree it, finance it and give it time. Or sack him. Personally, I favour the former, but they need to do something - doing nothing will land us with mediocrity and nothing more.
