Although this will go against the general consensus, I honestly don't think any side in this debacle has come out of this with any real credit. Ilyas Khan has lived the whole affair through the media glare and the donation of his shares is just another chapter in my opinion. Likewise the club (directors, etc) are soiled with the same dirt, just done differently.

It's just a shame that the real fans have to be caught up in the middle.

I think that a quite apt and fair assessment of the whole episode…..eye’s wide open so to speak; rather than seeing what we think we see or what others want us to see.
