Agree and the thing I struggle with is

We were told it will take a few transfer windows to get the squad we need to compete for play-offs/promotion but I do not understand were the money will come to achieve this as every season we remain in the chumpionship we will run at a loss and have to sell the high earners and our better players just to balance the books.
I would love the club to stay in the hands of city supporters but times have changed and we badly need investment or we will remain just a mid table club.
