Quote maurice="maurice"We all know that teams, coaches and owners come and go but it's the club that matters. Without Derek's financial input we would not be the club we have been since 2014 and I am sure you can recall the mess we were in prior when your beloved players hadn't been paid and a winding up order from hmrc was 48 hours away.
Derek owns the club, he puts considerable amounts of his money into the club which allows him the right to run it how he wishes, that's how a business that has a majority owner works. He doesn't need opposition in the boardroom he needs people he respects to quietly advise when requested or if they feel the need to, Allan did this previously but was paid to do so by Derek and Arthur before him - something I am sure Mike won't be.
Do I agree with everything Derek does or how he does it, certainly not but that doesn't stop me doing what I can when I can in support of the club I love. The alternative is the bitter and twisted agenda you seem to have, whilst either ignoring or being oblivious to the potential damage you could be doing to something you 'love' or is it just yesterday's players you have that emotion for who now ply their trade elsewhere'"
I don't see anything wrong in people being challenged regardless of position. Just because they make the investment in the club doesn't give them the right to dictate. Second time around for DB and he's come back stronger,no disputing that.
The Club started off £1.2M in credit this season,granted the parachute payment £500k had to be spent on players. Did the Club actually make anything in the SL season which started at £1.8M in credit?
I've no doubt DB carries losses from his investment,and without it yes, the Club wouldn't be in the position it is today.
Hopefully you can answer my questions Mo. Dwelling in the past I don't do I'm afraid,I only know one way and thats forward as often the past has failed.
