certainly i agree witht he broad thrust of your comments here..if anything im a bit hasher in my view of him than you are.Completely agree the abuse SD got from a few idiots was totally unacceptable. However, he did set himself up,even though he did not deserve such reaction from,again,a few idiots. I've spoken to him and he knows the vast majority would not condone such behaviour.
That said, I am of the opinion that had he the financial muscle he led us to believe he had,( eg Sartori),and was able to provide a properly financed,sound footing for us to progress, we would be in a different place with him and him with us.
The lingering doubts about the financial structure of his purchase,together with the obvious lack of player investment culminating in poor on pitch performances, led to his confrontation with the idiot few, and to the disgruntlement with the rest of us.
Even then,he is to be commended for the appointment of PP....imo,at just the right time....so,if he'd have been true,he could well be about to get it all on track. But,alas,no......as it turns out.
the thing is, untilt he £9m loan from the americans..i wasnt bothered on the short term financials..the first team havent wanted for anything financially..they did need better people, not more money. arguably PP is showing what the better people can do, as he doens have more cash than his predescfessor.
i think part of the problem on financials has been that many fans want things to simply be like they were under sshoprt..a billaionrie running it basly is better than a no billioanire running it well.
#My view was !) amillionaire running it well is better and 2) the problem was he wasnt running it well.
but i cant see a way where the current owners havent written a few big cheques to the cluub in their time in charge.
