I think we can all agree that since TF has been around, the on field performances have in the main, been pretty pathetic, to put it mildly. I have no doubt he has made many more mistakes than we would have thought or hoped would be the case. Taking that into account, I can see why some are not his biggest fans.

However. Perhaps we should think back to who last invested so much of their own money, at their risk, into developing a new training complex that will reap dividends in the future. And who last backed successive managers with the players that they wanted, at enormous cost. And who last spent time making plans to find and build us a new home that we will all no doubt be very proud of, once it is finally built. Struggling with that, to be fair.

As for him wasting our money, we really ought to show a bit more respect for someone that has invested millions of pounds in the future of our club. Doubt very much whether the annual income from mine and everyone else's season tickets even come close to matching what he has risked, let alone his reputation. He has always maintained he is here for the long term. To build something that he and his co-owners, along with our fans, can be enormously proud of. As far as I am aware, any debt the club have is to the owners. So if the club cannot afford to repay it, who is losing out?

Not TF's fault that he has been disgracefully let down by consecutive managers, despite backing them and supporting them to the hilt. I for one am grateful that we have him and his partners. And I think the least we can do is give our utmost backing and support to someone who so obviously cares about our future.

All clubs have bad seasons and we have had two of the worst I can remember in 42 years of going. But I think that very few clubs can begin to hope of the future we may be about to get, once things have been turned around.

Good balanced post Brighton and i agree those were the 2 worst seasons i can remember also. Pretty humiliating tbh. Think i take it all a bit too personally as i cant bring myself to forgive the useless ******s on the pitch or the useless ******s in the boardroom :-) not that i hold grudges or anything.............................:-)

This was a set up deal. We probably paid a few mil to take him for a few months and had an option to keep him at the end of the season if we stayed up , if not he would go back. I would bet my house on the 12 mil never leaving any bank accounts.

7.5 million up front and the rest over the length of the contract, also the wages were appearance and bonus related not the flat sum we have been made to believe! Believe it or not that is 100% correct.
