That's fine.

But then what goes with that is the very logical criticisms that there is lack of ambition at the club and the current owners are holding the club back from a Webber stated goal of Top 17. The business model and the chance of success simply do not match up. And I really don't understand why Webber would put himself in a position of trying to achieve a goal that has a very limited chance of success. Makes him look like a rube.
