I think the previous trash owners of Cov City realised that dropping to league 2 was not a good investment, started putting a small amount in, to be able to slowly improve the squad. Then they sold the club when they realised they couldn't win the stadium through legal action. They realised that the asset needed repairs if they were to make money or sell for a decent amount.
Our owners are too arrogant and stupid to even see that they are killing the club and need to spend to repair the damage. It almost makes you hope their private jets are made by Boeing.
