it's not just about Owen though, the Owen debacle is just another example of board incompetence it's up toParry and Moores to give Rafa the necessary resources and tools to mount an improved league challenge in the short and long term. They are quite clearly failing to do this : stadium - no progress investment - no progress our priority signings - centreback and right midfielder - we now have 16 hours to scape the barrel bottom to get someone (anyone in). The cl win should have seen us kick on, a unique opportunity to attract better players, business partners etc...
