Spot on - this is the clearing out of a collective that has, I’d argue, underperformed for years. We have a strange habit of elevating players above their ability when they leave - after spending season after season frustrated at our lack of progression. We were promised a root and branch clear out, we’ve got that and I don’t think any babies are being thrown out with the bath water here.

Missed this in the melee of posts. I did speak out in the TW era. Mainly because I never understood his interest in the club and was always worried it was a fad and he would leave when the reality of how hard it is running a club at this level hit home. The reason this is the different for me? I’ve always believed the club and stadium need to be aligned and both need each other to be successful. So I’m willing to give it a more of chance. Not sure who called you an idiot, but it wasn’t me?

I always remember getting details of who the consortium was and more importantly how it would all work together was like getting blood out a stone. The questions were asked at the time. Am I surprised we are where we are, not really because these things very rarely work like that. Those who hold the most money/investment have the biggest say.

For years I’ve believed that the way to be successful again was to bring the stadium and the playing side together. And whether I’m right or spectacularly wrong, I still believe that. I don’t know if I can make the open fans meeting. I’ve never been in the trust etc and don’t live locally so maybe that’s why I may have a lot of ignorance about the situation. But I worry that all it may serve to do draw the dividing lines even further.

There seems to be a split happening where you’re on the side of the trust and against the owners or on the side of the owners and maybe not necessarily with the trust. Such a shame but I’m at the point where I’m done with all the off-field drama and just supporting the team on a Saturday is my only concern.
