It's not a matter of our new owners are better then the previous ones. I cannot appreciate any owners who make the club worse. I never like baldy but he would never have let the squad be managed by rookies. He would not have sold players for less then their true value, nor would he have overpaid for players. Our new owners have done us no flavours as far as I'm concerned.
If they had paid our debts off fair enough. But they haven't. They basically got given the club and we were led to believe they would put us on a solid footing and be financially safe. Nowhere did they say we were going to get below par players and managers and get relegated.
Where's the investment in the ground and infrastructure. What's happened to changing the old faces in the background. What's happened to giving our youngsters a chance.
IMHO what owners have done a worse job of running a club. Maybe the Dingles Bahrti brothers did a similar job of destroying a football club.
If your a multimillionaire there are no excuses for everything going wrong at the same time.
The excuses must run out sooner or later. Anyone saying we need to be relegated to rebuild are just demented.

We have a different view on this BB!
Mine is that our present owners had no choice but to balance the books to meet financial regulations, or face further sanctions. To do this they HAD to sell our arguably better players, who were on the highest wages - even, as you say, for below their actual value - and bring in replacements who were mostly unproven at this level, but on lower wages.
Hmmmm.
