Does anyone but me not really hate our owners?
There has been a lot of nightmares lately, but, in my eyes, the majority of the blame sits squarely with the absolutely incompetent recruitment team we've seemingly had for years.
The situation with Armstrong absolutely infuriated me, as it did everyone else - but for an owner with no real understanding of the club, it was a sensible deal, and one he pulled out of when he saw the reaction (which few others would have done) .
On top of that, 2 weeks ago everyone was calling for Moyes' head; now, everyone views him as one of us - our hero bravely holding his own - which I understand, but the owner had absolutely nothing to do with Moyes' decision to play O'Brien right back all season, not to give a single minute to a single youth product, for his only tactical plan being to hoof it down the line.
And you can say he didn't put his hand in his pocket enough, but in reality, we spent a decent amount this window, and the enormous amount of money which came in didn't come in until the very last minutes - which, in my eyes, once again falls on the shoulders of the recruitment team, who clearly had no plan.
For me, they came in when we were on our knees, saw the stadium to completion, have put in an okay amount of money, and the only time we've heard of anything he's said, it was declaring that last season was a failure, which we all agree with.
The owners should have Kinnear and the recruitment team all out the building before the weekend, but other than that, I'm not unhappy with what they've done.
I'm not loyal to them at all, though - so if there are other reasons to dislike them, then fair enough, but on the surface, i think they're not bad at all - they just need to get rid of some of the senior figures.

Sorry, but TFG appointed those senior figures.
