I took them at face value. I trusted them to do what they said they would having not had any reason not to at the time. When firm evidence emerged of what they were and what they were about I changed my mind. I don’t care for being lied to, or having my trust abused. I still believe people are honest unless there’s evidence to the contrary. I’ve been burned occasionally because of it but also it’s given me moments of genuine satisfaction. These two jokers will always be a dark passage in the clubs history. I won’t be 100% comfortable until they’ve gone completely. I’m optimistic for the future as young Mr Dreyfus seems to be approaching his task in the right way and he has qualified people to advise him. Hopefully we’ve turned a corner. As supporters I don’t think we are entitled to have success automatically, The club and the players have to earn it and we have to help them. But I do think we’ve been punched in the face enough now and are due some respite.Mate, I’ll admit it as well. I fell for it completely. I even went one further. A few years ago when we came back for a holiday my son arranged to meet him. We all stood on the centre circle at the SOL (remember the outtake on STID when he went arse over tit trying to kick a ball? We were stood about three metres away).
Even then I thought that he was steering the club in the right direction. It’s only when a lot of stuff came out in the wash so to speak that I eventually cottoned on that him and his mate were utterly clueless when it came to running a football club of any size, let alone SAFC. The writing on the wall should’ve been seen when his move to us was from Eastleigh, but we were all so happy to see the back of Short that the majority of us were blinded by his rhetoric. In the Old West he would’ve been outed as a snake oil salesman.
