But what are his previous mistakes? Picking managers who turn out to be terrible and giving them huge budgets to spend in the transfer market. He obviously wouldn't want to do that again but there are no guarantees, and how much money does he chuck at it? If throws in a million and things are still shit, does he throw another million? Then another? Then another? That's not a good business plan. There are far too many variables in football... injuries, loss of form etc for anything to be a surefire winner.
I never suggested the team didn't need investment, did I? But realistically, it's not going to happen from Milne or anyone else anytime soon.
Milne's fortune may have dropped, but it's just the paper value of his investments. They'll rise again as the economy recovers. We're actually still paying for the mess that was the Aitken/A Miller regimes, never mind any compensation pay offs.
