the guy is awesome i can't believe anyone is questioning him, he is one person in the club who is not a problem

for me he will go down as a legend, a bit like jack walker at blackburn, all we need is someone to guide the onfield performance and we will be fine

I won't criticise him for putting his money where his mouth is but it would be interesting to know how many of the decisions over the last two years were his exclusively or the boards and conversely whether either party questioned anything that was suggested by the other side at anytime - checks and balances so to speak. I don't want him to go, I just want him to be advised correctly as we are in a world of $hit at the moment.

With 73% of the shares (and I assume voting rights) Simon Moran is the board.

Understood, but a board can help by offering an opinion on the effects of decisions - unless of course they decide to ride the gravy train and just go with the flow while taking the money.

With what's happened over the last two years either the board have been making all the decisions and should therefore be lined up against a wall or they have simply rubber stamped the major shareholder's requests without complaint.

He now's nothing about the game and the money he has thrown as been pretty much wasted.
Id rather have somebody who wants to run the club as a business and not as a fan.
