Agree about J M done a great job moving us forward ,but it was Mr Carter who saved us .We are so lucky to have two people who care so much about the club .
Both have completely different roles at the club so you can't compare.
For a start, I don't know if JM has any shares in the club? I assume he does but I also assume MC is the majority shareholder.
Anyway, MC runs the entity that is the business, there is no doubt about that. Again I've no real idea what input John has in the day-to-day stuff but I think it's fair to assume it's not as much as MC.
As far as I can tell, other than the standard responsibilities of being a director of the club, JM has one main mission and has done it from day one. That was to move the redevelopment of BV forward by bringing WMDC and Yorkcourt back to the table. That is clearly his skill set.
So in a way, I think it's wrong to say MC saved us, because without what JM has achieved it would only have been a stay of execution as an SL club. In their own ways, both are as important, where they differ is that MC has clearly been at the coal face far longer and has risked more personally, I don't think JM would disagree with that.
Either way, when all this is done and dusted they both deserve the undying gratitude of the fans and the city. Even if you don't agree with everything that's happened only a true pedant wouldn't admit that both have achieved more in eight years than all the previous regimes lumped together since the 1960's and that was a very different world.
