I reckon they will. The thread was titled in order to capture their attention.

Fox Talbot "I've just put in 12 mill in on top of all the other dosh since half-time in the play-off v Fulham (three years ago) and so far I've got f-all bang for me buck. I want some glory and fame and I want it now I don't wanna be aiming at 10th in the Champ. I mean, look at f-ing Wolves, Chinese-owned, threw the bank at it a few years back and now in the QFs in Europe. I dunno what's holding all these Reading guys back. I've got all the money you need, just get on and spend it, on the kind of players I like."

Forbury Lion Perhaps they are running the club how they run their businesses? - Maybe they do not yet see that business and sport are not the same thing?
For all the chopping and changing, if we'd just stuck with any one manager and backed them we'd probably be in a better position now both financially and in league position.
It's even more difficult for me to renew my season ticket now, Covid 19 and the prospect of missing half the games due to lockdown and watching the rest in a socially distanced 1/4 full stadium was one thing but not knowing what i'm signing up to watch in terms of management style, players, club management philosophy etc is perhaps the final nail.

WestYorksRoyal Genuine question. They clearly have money and, to a certain extent, good intentions. They back managers in the transfer market, they have invested in Bearwood, they put on free away travel last season.
But, their track record with big decisions is, quite frankly, shit. And we're running out of road. Many more shit decisions and we could be in L1 with the club completely unsustainable and reliant upon owners for financial life support.
How do wealthy business people who have been successful in other walks of life make such a mess here? Football is clearly a new market to them, so the obvious action to take is to surround themselves with trusted people who know better. But they don't. Are they arrogant? Do they not trust the right people? Will they stick around if/when it all goes to shit?

This is typical Chinese business management decisions. They don't live in reality, they don't understand what they're doing.
They get some bright idea which is the worst idea ever, then they tell everyone to do it and be enthusiastic about it, and expect it to work.
In China you don't become successful because you're good at business per se. You become good because you know who to take to dinner, who to offer the right cigarettes, how to impress government officials, how to sweeten the deal. Nothing functions logically and they gt rich from it.
To be honest, seeing what's happening, the club is SCREWED. We'll be third division within five seasons and that's if we're lucky.

I've lived in China for 8 years, I work in China, my wife is Chinese. I've worked for many Chinese bosses and every single one of then has been SHIT.
I'm quitting my current job in 5 weeks because the new boss came in, and EVERY SINGLE LEGAL FOREIGN MEMBER OF STAFF will have left by October 1st. The boss tries to tell me how to do my job, but has no clue, he also can't do his management job, he hides somewhere else and is never seen by anyone who isn't high up management (in a small company).
I left my previous company because a new boss came in and EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF STAFF quit within 6 months. The company was empty, they had no one to do anything. They had a member of staff who was so successful and told her she had to do this, that and the other, when they didn't need to do anything, she could clearly do her job amazingly.
The job before that I left before that had the boss walk in while I was with loads of customers and started screaming and shouting at me in front of them and me, and she had no idea why she was screaming and shouting either.
So, before you tell people they're racists, maybe you need to ask yourself if you're making a complete and utter forking fool out of yourself.

"THEY don't live in reality"
"THEY don't understand what they're doing"
"THEY get some bright idea which is the worst idea ever"
"then THEY tell everyone to do it and be enthusiastic about it, and expect it to work"
Your use of the word "they" indicates you are making your derogatory statement against an entire nation, you are judging every Chinese person in the same way. Your post is at the least full of bitterness and hatred based upon your own personal experience.
I couldn't give a toss who you are married to, it doesn't automatically make you not racist.

Which of our managers would you have liked us to stick with ?
Would knowing what style of football and philosophy Stam had have encouraged you to renew your ST ?
Or would you have been happy with the happy smiley Portuguese chap failing to motivate his team ?
As fans we have never had any guarantee which players would play in any game (every summer the players change, it’s nothing new and nothing Unique to current owners).
