Again I accept your request for support for Dave Oneill, but please understand his deceit/behaviour and financial mismanagement/cover up has left some fans questioning investing/spending further capital at the club as it may profit the man who went to court with no more than an oliver twist plea ('please sir can i have some more'(time)).
Are you able or when do you expect to be able to ensure all income streams are retained and re-invested in the club?
DAV007 - Good post otherwise, but I still don't understand the point quoted, which you keep making in one form or another. If you buy something from the shop the money goes in the till against a receipt, or you write a cheque or validate a card transaction to the club. So how does this money, or gate money, or money spent in the bar or the Crown, transfer itself to the DON's (or anyone else's) pocket? He draws a fixed salary (presumably) as Ops Director for running the club on a daily basis, and if he does eventually get to own shares he could receive a dividend if one was ever declared (not happened in living memory As far as I know). Anything else would be theft, and presumably (hopefully) you're not suggesting that?

I've got no admiration for the DON's management over the eight week crisis, far from it, but you keep making this pocket-lining allegation which can only serve to put people off spending money to support the club, which is what it badly needs. I just don't understand ......
