So, once again you assume Dick and Terry have pots of cash sloshing about. It seems it's ok for JR to have money tied up in assetts but it's beyond your reckoning that the same might apply to TB and DW.
BBAlso (although irrelevant for this discussion) I haven't got a clue what you're on about with your chronology. We HAD Billy Sharp for 2.5 of the four years that we were in the Championship. Of the other 1.5 years, 6 months was Ryan's crackpot experiment, 6 months was the start of 2008-09 when we were barely even competitive, never mind promotion candidates and the other 6 months was the second half of 08/09, when we had a striker with the second highest goals-to-games ratio in the division.What precisely is the point you're trying to make?
So the extent of JR's ambition didn't stretch to freeing up some of his assets to complete the takeover. Seems his ambition was to spend other peoples money without taking the risk. Oh, and whist doing so belittle your rich Amigos in public. Genius!
BB.Much as I love pointless discussions, work is pressing. If you've owt sensible to say on this subject, I'm all ears.

JR would have not stood for these abject performances

Personally I reckon we should be thankful we've had and have now, owners who are prepared to part with cash to fund our hobby. Could have been an awful lot worse.
I personally do wonder about TB/DW monetary input, SM said earlier TB had "Put in" 14million, but from personal wealth of 500 million that's a mere 0.028%. That being spread over what, 8 years. That would be the equivalent of your average supporter ( like me ) putting in £280 a year, for same 8 year period.Its when you see other local clubs "Owners" putting in fairly decent amounts for "Transfers" that irks most supporters.Don't get me wrong, I am appreciative of what the "Owners" have done in the past, but cant help thinking the pot is too "Dry" now. Just my opinion of course, and if I had the 500 million as opposed to TB, then 1/5 of that would be "Investment Marked",( similar to his "Terry and Liz" fund ), then all supporters be happy.
