I've been saying for years that the club hasn't handled itself very well in lots of ways and it was me that coined the phrase "League team, Unibond club". Therefore I'm under no illusions at all, even though I was one of a few dissenting voices for quite some time.
We all know that things haven't been right for a long time, but as long as we kept going forwards, people were happy to roll with it and laugh along with Eric and his ' special ways'. Maybe it was a case of ignorance being bliss, but whatever it was, it annoys me now that people have turned on individuals because the truth has come out.

And finally, I didn't even know that Eric had a donkey.
the question was would good players leave under those circumstances or not,as i genuinly have no idea if the money the guy was gonna put in would have made any differance, that to me is not scapegoating, unless by implication of a certain answer.n you can never accuse me of turning on that certain individual, cos i have never liked him in the first place.
