I'm no Caisley 'hater'. I think he did what he thought best, though I confess I didn't agree with all of it. Indeed, I sang "I'll support you evermore" and lived the 'glory years' to the utmost, with the rest of them.
One thing I would say though, is that the £500K losses went on for five or six years (there my have been the odd year in the middle which wasn't a big loss) starting from the settlement in 2000, so until 2006 (ish) but the Superdome fiasco lasted only for about 2 of those before the writing was on the wall. In fact I gave up on it as soon as they started telling us it might take over from Wembley as the national stadium - As if! I'd guess CC was more than cute enough to know what claptrap they were talking.
