I’m not sure

Part of the reason for ‘I told you so’ repetition is because we *have* seen this so many times. And that’s at the performance on the pitch - of course, every team bar an elite few have good times, bad times - and off the pitch, which is where I think most of the annoyance is really centred.
Because we did have a plan that allowed for promotion and relegation but then seemed to cast it to one side, turn it into blow money to stay up, oh there’s no money, oh what next.
And that is where my frustration comes from - it’s not wisdom in hindsight; every longstanding fan was wondering why we seemed to be going back down the same route that had caused problems before. Not a miserable I told you so, but genuine concern that bad decision-making and some pretty strong stubbornness from the board - have we already forgotten Delia’s Times interview - just don’t show the ambition required. Yes we changed the structure - but after some fairly disastrous errors which we really should have been wiser about.
And sorry but regardless of the great investment opportunity, the bond issue is the firm evidence that we’ve reached the same point when the normal pots are empty and it’s back to the packaging it as a nice community club gesture.
And that is why the trite ‘you wanted investment, now you’re complaining’ comments to the bond critics are unfair - the fans have always been a major donor - whether it was the Grant Holt rebate or the shares issues to support promotion.
But it’s only a game.
