The two of them hold twice the controlling interest that Parish does so there can be no expenditure by Parish unless at least one of the US investors consents. Parish is not in charge (he's one of three directors, all with an equal say), as CEO he's just responsible for the day-to-day running of the club, for which he's paid handsomely.

With the benefit of hindsight the model look flawed.
When Hodgson goes, which manager of any ambition is going to want to work in that set up?
Either new owners need to be found or the model has to change.
We have the oldest squad in the Premier League ,increasingly injury prone with no young players coming through that are likely to challenge the first team any time soon.

That’s assuming we are still in the EPL next season! We are only 7 points above the drop zone now.

Definitely. The Roy haters had better hope he sticks around to guide whatever underfunded, cobbled-together squad he's given.

Unless we can improve on the woeful performance against Southampton (although admittedly they are on a current run of exceptional form), we could be just above or in the bottom three in the next few weeks. Hope not, as being in the top tier has been a happy few years all round.

What is all this negativity about? We have had a good first half to the season and have a solid very experienced squad of players. Why is it now all of a sudden going to fall apart? Nothing has changed we have injuries that come and go but still we pickup points. The transfer window meant we did not get any backup despite efforts to get a few players in. One was found to be medically suspect therefore good decision not to buy , one was offered far more than we wanted to pay or could afford and a forward was brought in on loan. Cannot see that this set of circumstances means the club is falling apart.. We are not in the bottom section fighting for our lives so bringing players in whilst useful was not essential.
Next season is a different scenario but in the meantime let us get behind the boys ! COYP
