[expatriate]

I am around from now till 7.15pm and then later on (after 9.30pm) and will answer any questions posted on this board. Please dont send me private questions - its just too difficult to manage both a private dialogue and posting on this board.

Doug, I have read your various comments. Please go ahead now and ask me whatever is on your mind. Including any concerns you might have about my feeling for Stanley or fears that my involvement might mean a lessening of attachment to the club in "true fan" terms.

I will keep on the forum and try to be quick with my answers. as always i promise transparency and clarity. If you feel I have not answered your question, then I will try again. My only interest, now, and pretty much since 1992 when I made my first donation to the club is for the club to survive and do as well as possible.
