Well Walshy I presume I am one of the stooges you refer to but my support is the Board as a whole - or more pointedly the Directors who have financially kept the club alive for 30 years.
I have never been a fan of Tarry at all and I am pleased to see him elsewhere.
But surely you can accept that it is possible to a) Support and praise the board for the financial contribution they have made over the last 30 years and b) Question the poor decision making of those same people over the same period. These are not mutually exclusive positions. The board could have spent far less than it has if better decision making had been in operation throughout those years.
You've just proved that very point yourself by saying you support the board but don't like Dave Tarry, in essence saying the board has had someone occupying one of, if not, the biggest roles at the cub for 30 years that was poor at his job. By analogy this shows the decision making process at the top of the club clearly went awry on this issue.
Another glaring example is the 4.5 year contract given to McRae - an appalling waste of money that cost us immeasurably an almost all fronts. That decision has never been justified by whoever made it.
PS I'm happy to be corrected on this but I don't recall you voicing much concern over David Tarry on this forum while he was in office, which I find peculiar if you've never been a fan of his.
