On the subject of changes at the helm, I'm mindful that Mr Khan requested calm to allow things to be worked out over this coming week or so. However, I do feel that the fans have been swatted away like an irritating wasp with bland & meaningless statements both by Rob and Mr O'Neill. It reached the ludicrous point where we could not believe anything they uttered.And then they turn up on the day of reckoning with nowhere near the required sum - after all the blood swet 'n tears that have seen the impossible rise from the ashes of '62, they basically killed the club. Only the uninvited intervention of Messrs Khan/Marsden prevented the unthinkable. So it is likely that we will survive this time but without serious change at the top I would not bet against a repeat next year. As someone said, the two Directors at the Chesterfield meeting nearly got their way. They at least should go immediately with no ifs or buts - what good were/are they ?
I sensed from Rob's radio piece that the next bit of blind hope in the boardroom is that if they keep their heads down for a few weeks all will be forgotten. Not a chance, I for one could not trust them again.
I think it was Yonmon who said that apart from this unholy mess, the fans are fully behind the players and John 'n Jimmy. They must have been training under very unsettling conditions. May they be assured that we, the fans, fully appreciate their professional attitude. Hopefully it will have helped to weld them into an even more one-for-all tight unit and the Stanley young-guns will spectacularly blow Grimsby away t'morra night.
