What are everyone's thoughts on our new owners so far?

Can’t have many complaints. They aren’t constantly in the spotlight, they seem to stay out of the on the pitch stuff, which is a fantastic relief after the last maniac.
Need a few more seasons, they’ve given us money to spend so I assume they’ve done their due diligence with our financial situation, they are known for fixing clubs like us.
I much prefer them to Moshiri or the unambiguous oafs we had before.

They've done what I'd want them to do. Cleared the debt and got the club moving forward.
The biggest change is how many people we now have in top places on the board and running each department of the club. We look like a big global business instead of an aging sleeping giant.

Think they have been spot on so far.

Can't complain so far. Its refreshing not hearing much about 'the state' of our club. Its good to see real progress on and off the pitch
Keep it going.

They know how to run a business rather than "grew up in the boys pen" crap. They have put in place an experienced professional management group and from what I can see left them to do a job rather than constantly interfering like the last bunch. The jury is still out and the goal over the next few years has to be European football and hopefully a trophy, a good start but still work to do.

Certainly got the the right manager.

Only thing missing was a proper centre forward in my eyes.
Shipped out some of the deadwood (Harrison, Doucs, etc) . Brought in upgrades replacements (Grealish, KDH) . Delivered on the new stadium and sorted out finances out so we aren’t liable to another PSR issue.
Phase one: ‘steady the ship’ seems complete. It’s what happens next that will tell us how good they are as owners. We’ve bought a few players for the future, the team doesn’t look as if they will be scrapping at the bottom of the table and they are investing in the women’s game. I hope the next phase goes as well as the first! The signs are promising.

New owners cannot be blamed for some poor recruiting decisions, they have appointed people to do that roll, then allowed them to get on with it.
Yes, the lack of a new right back is a concern, and a proven goal scorer, but that is far from their fault, they have provided the funds, but have left football people to make the decisions, and with our resent history of owner making such decisions, it is the right approach.

First season first transfer window how can we complain, yes we need further improvements but we new it wouldn't be done in 1 window, think a right back was the only thing I'd of said we new we needed one and never got one which still baffles me now, but roll in xmas window hopefully they can address what has so fair been a good start to the season .
{Ed025's Note - yeah Pasty a RB should have been one of our top recruitment goals along with a striker for me, but as you say we have done a lot of good things and we all knew it would take more than just 1 window mate, i know hindsight is a wonderful thing but does anyone else think we may have let Ashley Young go a season too early?, he is still as fit as a butchers and i thought done really well for us last season, not everyone,s cup of tea but while Jarrad is out i would have liked to see us play 3 centre halves with Myko and Ash as fullbacks but with cover from the big lads....but maybe thats just me..
