If we have another shocking transfer window as well... dreading the next couple of seasons. The owners intentions are great, but this appointment might mean yet another season wasted. So unbelievably frustrating, especially when you look at where we were 3 years ago.

I think you're giving FSG too much credit. I don't think their intentions are great. I think they want to cause themselves the least amount of hassle, and someone like Rafa who would challenge them on any broken promises, isn't what they want.
I also think it's more about costs and saving money. They know Martinez gets a young player in and then sells him for a profit. He's made more than he's spent at Wigan, by £10m.
I think they''ve reached the point Randy Lerner got to, when he realised he didn't have the money to get them into the top table, and once any team is away from the top table, then you can reduce investment.
They're bull**** merchants in my opinion. But I really hope I'm wrong.
