Well to answer that I need to strip out the patronising and the history lessons

I was one of those who protested against Chase, and of course for the most part it had nothing to do with Watling.

But your question at the end - "is that what you want?" - is a false one.

The board are fire-fighting, to try and save the club. No-one's being taken for granted - the board want out, no one else wants in. The questions is when the banks will want out.

As for "making the same mistakes time and time again" - well I know you enjoy writing history with hindsight. Which mistakes are they making at the moment?

(Bear in mind that if one them is "appointing Gunn", then you need to bear in mind that your reliable ally Creo was castigating them when he thought they weren't going to do that.

Whereas I thought it was the wrong decision then. But just goes to show that nothing's simple.

      - Creo's breakdown is simply a reminder of how little can be put towards the playing budget (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 28, 20:21:29
        
        eh? You do realise he entirely made the numbers up? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 28, 20:25:52
        
        The general point he was making was clear though (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 28, 20:29:22
        
        I don't see why or how he demonstrated that (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 28, 20:31:57
