No one who paid their money at the turnstiles had any real influence to "fight for the club".

The changes Neale/Brown, Thorn, Smurfwaite, Hawkins & Ginelley appeared to be the only option at the time.

What disappointed me was how many just lapped up what they said (add DA Capital** and H&H to that list).*
Most if all wanted the team to be successful (and get the plaudits) without much consideration to THE CLUB. With the last 2 of the list I don't think their ownership made 1 jot of difference to THE CLUB, other than delay the inevitable. THE CLUB was a status symbol/pay thing to them.

What we have now is actual transparency where THE CLUB is the important thing whilst very important, success on the field is secondary. I suspect the majority (it will never be 100%) will accept mediocracy on the field as they know THE CLUB is being run for the future and not the now.
