In any other universe

Nelms would be picking up his P45

Been in the job 11 years or so.

Has he delivered on a new stadium? NO

Has he delivered on a permanent training facility? NO

Has he succeeded in making the club a stable, continual top tier side? NO

Has he increased revenue? I don't know behind the scenes in terms of sponsorships etc. But he hasn't succeeded in luring more punters through the turnstiles..so NO

Has he engaged with the supporters? That's a big fat NO.

He's let players go for peanuts.He's hired 8 managers. None who have set the heather on fire.Some of whom were absolute dogshyte. I'd give slight pass marks to Hartley (though he may not be a Nelms hire) Gary Bowyer He did what he was hired to do. And I'd also give a pass to the Doc. He kept us up for two seasons .which shows how low the bar has been in recent years.

So where is the club now after all the years of yank ownership. On the park? no further forward. looking relegation straight in the kisser once more. Dens isn't fit for purpose. And is, frankly, an embarrassment. Especially for the prices they charge. sh*t facilities. How long will they be able to get a certificate to keep the place open.

Dwindling, scunnered supporters who are supposed to hand over cash to watch rookie managers and project players.

I appreciate the owners have shelled out a lot of cash to keep the club going. But what have they got to show for it. we may be paying the bills but nothing else has gotten any better. It's like we are sleepwalking toward oblivion.  

even if they put the club up for sale who'd buy a championship side with a run down stadium?

They only hope we have is if. just by luck or the law of averages we stumble across a decent manager next time they are hiring.

Anyone buying the club will be buying it for a pound. Keyes is a businessman and he knows the valuation of a business with zero assets and many liabilities is zero. The millions of losses that he has accumulated over his ownership will never be recouped. 

What makes our lack of progress, actually regression, even more galling is the progress made by so many other clubs over that period.

The money that has been wasted, during the pitch fiasco and the dreadful manager choices that have resulted in relegation. The falling away of gates this season. Had Keyes put a proper football man in, we could have been flying with his backing. But his mate has goofed it big time. And it would appear that no decent manager wants to work for him.
