People can complain but without someone willing to just throw money away what alternative strategy should they pursue? The only way they're going to make significant returns is promotion to the Prem and they simply aren't going to write the kind of cheques required for that.
So we're, at best, treading water until someone is prepared to buy the club. Its all well and good saying sell up, you need a willing buyer and lets not pretend someone like Hoffman coming in is going to give the kind of funding people want put into the club.
There isn't an alternative strategy - the model has been to bring in players with a minimal outlay, develop and sell for profit in order to cover operational costs. This message has been lost in translation of the past couple of years due to the progress made and there being no significant sales since January 2020.
That really isn't the issue at hand though. The club has previously invested a small proportion of any sale into recruiting further players. This season that is seemingly no longer the case due to operational costs vastly exceeding turnover, meaning that even with another sale the likelihood of the club equipping Robins and the management staff with funds to re-invest back into the squad is close to nil. The cost of being in this division is completely unsustainable with the model the club currently operates under - as indicated in their statement.
It's every fans right to air their grievances when the narrative from the club has been that the owners are supportive, Robins has the final say in who stays and who goes, the club is attempting at emulating the Brentford model and the more STs sold equates to more maneuverability in the transfer window.
It's constant half truths and duplicitous comments.
Sadly no prospective buyer will ever match SISUs demands for the club, that's a given, but fans have a right to complain as SISU are entirely pointless as owners and are the sole cause of the club being unable to progress beyond what's already been achieved.
