I dont, at all. If you think this is a weird boner for Thohir, you're incapable of rational thought. I'm taking his moves and making a decision on the basis of what he does and what happens.
You are probably the ONLY person on this forum who expected someone to come in and blow a lot of money. It was obvious to any five year old that we couldnt do that - because of FFP restrictions (among other things). WE HAVE THE BIGGEST LOSSES IN EUROPE!
It was OBVIOUSLY NEVER going to be some cash cow investment, it was OBVIOUSLY NEVER going to be a City or PSG, it was about running a proper BUSINESS and making us profitable. Which is EXACTLY what he has done so far.
Get off your high horse and actually think about our situation a little. If you just want a team that is going to blow a fuckload of cash every year, go support another club

and to be honest in many ways its better for us he doesnt have a fuckload of cash
the ~300m? he'll be investing + loaning against Inter represents a huge part of his wealth. Maybe 50%? I dont know. At least then this is ESSENTIAL to him, its not like some fucking Sheikh 'oh its just another a380, i dont really give a shit'. There's 0 chance of him doing an Anzhi or a Malaga with us, precisely because he doesnt have that much money.
honestly you sound like someone on that americna TV show sweet 16, where girls turn 16 and get like brand new fucking 50000$ cars and are crying because its not the one they wanted/the wrong colour/whatever else. For the first time in 20+ years we have an owner who is turning us into a business, instead of blowing money (pointlessly). he's increasing our revenues and decreasing our losses. If you think that's a bad thing then, seriously, support PSG or City.
what I ask is how can you make this teams revenue higher ? Where do u see us increasing revenue , we just renewed some deals, if those deals are for more years in the future,it only makes sense that it would be for more money , some may argue that it will hurt us in the long run.
what is he loaning again? What wealth exactly? the only thing that he has right now is inter, not viva, not anything else not all those medias in indonesia he quit from them the moment we got the deal from goldman sachs, we will suffer these 5 years and we will be light years behind other clubs, no stadium STILL paying loans with god knows how much interest, and take into consideration that we are STILL losing money, we don't have any youth players making us profitable any time soon, we suck at investing in players, we suck at everything, the only thing we can hope is in Mazzari turn us into a fucking CHL winners and MAYBE then we will be without losses. Just imagine how much it took arsenal 8 years without trophies/succes with arguably the smartest manager (financially speaking) (they had to pay 200m for their stadium which will increase their revenue EVEN MORE)
also its not like I liked Moratti that much or at all , i dont like his decisions, but the dude had plans for a stadium and was willing to INVEST and would not let inter go down into quality even if he meant him going bankrupt, again, thohir is not a bad owner whatsoever he just doesn't have anyone else backing him , also his record with Washington DC and Philadelphia don't really make me that optimistic.
so far from thohir :
positive
marketing
trying to increase revenue albeit little to no results
getting rid of old players
negative
no major changes in sight
no clear long term plan in clubs direction( not financially speaking , tho u can still say the same )
no new sources of major revenue increase
no new players
im sure he has nice intentions and cant afford to lose money but those 70 m arent that much really he invested 50 m i dc united ffs , i dont see us being profitable let alone succesful with him.
ffp is only for us, napoli, fiorentina, rube, roma are light years away, even udinese will get stadium and better revenue than us
