Quote: Nat (Rugby_Aholic) "At what cost? Simple fact is Fev are never going to sustainably get to top 4 of SL, therefore what happens when Faisal gets bored of injecting 'millions' into Fev just to see them struggle to maintain a mid table finish in SL? Their inevitable financial collapse will make Bradford look like a low key afair. In the relentless pursuit of success he will likely sack several coaches, club staff, directors, chairman etc and gut the heart and sole of the club. We have already seen an example of this with Bastian, they brought him in to develop a young squad for SL in two or three years, six months later and he is out the door for not getting immediate success from the assembled young team.
The best owner in the modern game in my opinion is Steve O'Conner at Widnes. He quietly sits in the background, hiring the right people and giving them time, investing money where needed. That is the best approach to gain continued success in SL. Not this instant success seeking we see from Naboo and Koucash.'"
Like you say, Bastian was brought in to build a team for SL over the next few years, but a change in the league structure meant that this is a very important year and top 2 is a must,so time the time is not available anymore.
I believe Bastian could of built something good at fev with time.
