I just don't understand all the venom aimed at fosun under there ownership we have spent 300 million. We have to sell to buy due to sanctions in place from uefa who stated we had to break even for 3 years this being the final year. So next year clear of sanctions you'd expect investment if not then I'd go along with the fosun have lost interest group. Finally sir jack who is lorded by the fan base for what he did can you remember what he allowed Dave Jones to spend on that first season in the prem 3 million so safe to say he got most of it back if not all.

I think the issue is that Sir Jack was a local man and afan who ran the club as such, and Fosun is a Chinese business who run the club in a different way.

There is also this expectation that as Fosun are extremely rich, they can spend like kids in a sweet shop, when they have to work within FFP restrictions which limits what can be invested that isn't self generated by the club. It is always easier to spend someone else's money though.

Personally I think Fosun have done a great job and exceeded reasonable expectations. Unfortunately I also believe that even if they delivered a league title and a Champions League it still wouldn't be good enough for some.
