I think you are giving him far too much credit mate. He kept us in mediocrity for years and I will never forgive him for the Kings Dock let alone other things

I believe the finance for Kings Dock was on terms we could not sustain. Dont know but heard from somebody involved in that one. Was mediocrity a bad result considering the mess? It was not bankrupty or relegation (just) We did not do a Leeds and look at Villa even with cash. I know it was by the seat of his trousers but to take a failing business to a small profit; little debt and eventual sale without any substantial investment is quite an achievement mate. I would have been proud of that job.

If you are happy and can take positives from the most unsuccessful era and Chairman in our whole history then so be it. Even Johnson won a cup

Thing is, without going too much into it, how much did the board do in that time that was short sighted?

Chang deals, kit bag deals, selling bellfield, selling finch farm, the car park fiasco, the lack of backing when it mattered, expecting the city to pay for our stadium etc

Point is, so many desicions were made with no long term planning in place. Hell we sold arteta Beckford and yakubu all at the same time! Two strikers and our creative midfielder and loaned in a striker being offered to everyone in the country and a young Dutch player who turns out was available for a reason.

Just so much poor forsight that other clubs had the sense to plan for instead.

Let us not forget, if Kenwright had got his way we would have been playing in Kirkby now. I don't want to get embroiled in yet another anti Kenwight thread but maybe we should just think about that

Not happy as a supporter but totally admire what he did to turn the club around without any finance. It is well known we were effectively bust.
