Today we got it and some of us went into that dark place of the past. What is Transparency anyway and how much of it is good for us. Did Rob do anything wrong, was there inside knowledge of a leak that would have caused us more concern. Maybe we need to have an open and frank discussion on what's in our own best interests as supporters and what's in the best interest of the club.
If we where in the mire I'd want to know, and know what was being done to elevate the situation; if we have a cash flow problem surly that should remain an internal management issue and out of the public/supporters domain.
How do we balance these matters, what is in our best interests.

Douglas, great post. I agree it's all about balance and at times, it's difficult and awkward. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't!
If a smallish company of about 45 employees with an annual turnover of about £1.5M and an irregular phased income stream through only 5 sources of income didn't pay some of its wages in March, but promised it was a temporary cash flow issue that would be resolved in the month, then not too many people, save for those directly involved, would bat an eyelid. Because its a football club, and our football club, loads of people are interested and its a nationally and internationally reported story.
