You say DON didn't know what he was getting into when he took over the club. Is that astute management? Is that the kind of management you would like to see take the club forward?

There's only one way forward, that's a supporters trust. It may mean relegation this year, but when the fans own the club - by the way Barcelona are owned by a supporters trust - there are possibilities for progression. Under the current regime, I fear the worst.

By the way, I don't think I've ever met DON, it's not a personal thing, but I don't have, from what I've seen so far, a great deal of confidence in him.
