I don't agree with this sentiment. I think he has genuinely good intentions in his heart and wants to do the right thing for the club. But the problem is,
He is more worried about tarnishing his 'good owner image' than being a 'successful owner'.
Football is now a business and you gain absolutely nothing just by being a 'good owner' not to mention while losing millions every season! That's just plain stupid. TF needs to be more ruthless. Being ruthless doesn't necessarily mean a trigger-happy owner rather someone who is brave and prudent enough to make the right call at the right time without worrying lest he be criticized and ruined his image.
For instance, he should have sacked Harry right after Christmas so that the new manager could have had a full month before the January transfer window closed. And since he didn't, he should have backed Harry to give the club some hope to stay in the PL especially when the money was available after the sale of Mutch. But he did neither and forced Harry out though backroom politics so that his 'good owner' image remains intact.
It's good to see him trying to bring club legends back but let's just keep sentiment aside and put the right people in the right place. Also he needs to introduce performance-based pay structures so that leeches like SWP doesn't hang around like a bad smell while milking the club every last penny. A low basic wage which is highly-incentivized is the way to go forward.
