Fair enough, if that's the majority view I just hope he calls in all his loans first thing tomorrow.



Seriously you are  bizzare. Do you actually think he has done a good job, if you do that's fine,  but from where I sit lots of that money was wasted on shocking decision making.

Imagine tomorrow when we learn that Honest John has sold his shares to Mr May, it will be armagedon,

An estimated £3 million alone the club lost out on in the 6 years out of the Football League.

At no point have I ever said he has done a good job

I merely point out
1) that the loan which appears to upset everbody actually kept the club afloat
2) there is no evidence at all that he is selling to this May character or anyone he represents
3) the 'job' he has done is not the issue here, it is simpky being used as an additional thing to hit him with on top of what appears to have been a dreadful error of judgement (and at this point no more than that)

People don't object to the loan as a point of principle though Swin, people object to the way the debt accumulated over time.

Exactly. Cash burned on poor decisions, some penny pinching decisions, if they were one-off it would be more understandable but it was a cumulative thing.

Labour party raised concerns earlier in the year about him being portfolio holder for regeneration. Unfortunately, the Tories hold sway in the council now.
