A decade of turning fans away?
Intelligent owners that want to win fans back?
Reading between the lines I can only assume you mean throwing money at big transfers and wages in a gamble to get back to the PL...

Nope thats not what I mean at all, of course everyone likes seeing great players playing for their team but what I want is owners whose aim is to do whats best for the football club, who are honest with the fans, who run a football club we can be proud of, who we can all get behind, it would be great if they were rich owners who planned to take us to the premiership of course it would, but I'd be very happy with owners basing a team on the academy too.
As I've said in this thread one of my favourite games in recent memory was Preston last year in the tin pot cup, you don't need to be in the premiership for football to be great,
I would like owners who were willing to take a short term loss for long term gain however, I don't mean by spending a fortune on players but I do mean something like ... Hi everyone we are the new owners of Coventry City football club, you've been let down by your owners for a long time and we want to build the club back up again, we promise to be honest with you, sometimes we might have to do things you don't like but I promise not to lie and spin and I promise what we do will be in the interests of Coventry City football club, I will always stand up and tell you what we are doing and why. first and formost we want to encourage the great fanbase that has been lost through decades of mismanagement back and to reward those who have stuck with the club through thick and thin. So for this season and next season anyone who has had a season ticket in the last 15 years will be able to buy up to 4 season tickets at £150 each. We've set up a website where you'll be able to vote on issues that matter to you, enter your supporter number to the website and vote on this weeks questions, we will implement your responses next home game for question 1 and within a month for question2, Question 1 is about goal music, prematch music and the volume of such music, question 2 is about half time entertainment, competitions, cheerleaders etc. Next weeks questions will be about the food and beverage options we will have available and how you like to pay for them.
Make it feel like our football club, make us feel like the good guys again, bring us all together, make the atmosphere the best it can be, make it about the football again, make it fun to go to the games again. I think this is doable weather you are buying a team of superstars or if you are basing the team on the academy and selling the stars for the best price.
