Dunno if I'm off message but in nigh on 40 yrs of following Rs I have never really cared/bothered about the owners/directors of the club.
I've seen the Guiness affair, all manner of comings/goings through the Bulstrode, Thompson, Wright periods plus share issues. Then really gnarly times with adminsitration and ABC loans blah blah blah. I won't even start on the Gianni times that more or less continue today.
My view is they come and they go but the club goes on. All the doom and gloom about assett stripping or milking the club ebbs and flows too.
I have always firmly believed that the Rs will be here far longer than any owner will be and, despite all the supposed board-room turmoil over 2/3 decades lo and behold here we still are (and in the prem!).
Fair play to anyone who has the capacity to follow and understand things like todays "coded message" - I just read it, scratch my head and move on - I don't waste time wondering if it's good or bad and this is the approach I have with all things that go on "upstairs".
I have no idea if I'm a lone little innocent with his head in the sand or if there are 25000 other like-minded Rs out there. One thing though, following the Rs means there plenty enough pitch-level things to fret about..... angsting about the corporate/PLC side is just too much - life's too short in my book!
