The problem with the model of these oweners is when you want to get all so called potential talent , you need to have a good established side whilst doing so . So to that effect , fsg and Brent should have bought one or 2 top players or good quality players instead of soley buying prospects and youth . They've caught themselves halfway through it . Never really got that very good established players . Then done it !! And ballsed it up and it's a mix of potential and youth . Now I'm sure they realise it's back to the option of buying proven quality or at least trying to . Suarez gone Gerard gone and Sturridge injury prone . They've had good intentions fsg but ultimately made things hard !! Let's face it they've spent the dosh but in the wrong manner . One top quality player in coutinho . Imo iniesta successor . Only a matter of time he flies the coup .

Just like Chelsea now, about to sign kenedy and nathan. That's how to run a football club

The model you speak of does not exist and it is nothing but a fabrication as the Eds have said here on numerous occassions. The players with potential have been bought by BR and solely by BR and should be held accountabnle for that which he will be but the owners had nothing to do with who got bought or sold. If Alexis (chose elsewhere), Costa (condition on Suarez leaving which he did not), Willian (Chelsea and Spurs offered more than we did)and Mkhytarian (complex ownership issues which was not worth the hassle) refused to come, it is not the owners fault. They may have been duped by people including BR but I can`t fault their thoughtfulness and effort.

Exactly add them in . Learn of the established then the transition is easier . Not a bunch of 12 yr olds mixed in with guys who havint established themselves . Blend is not right . No wonder some have itchy feet

Chelsea is the club to look at, painful as it may be but it is run like a well oiled machine.
