Now all the dust as settled , you can’t help look back at Neil Jukes tenure as a complete disaster. I cannot believe a business man like Mr Beaumont would be totally blinkered with a friendship that eventually led to his demise. As everyone knows a fish rots from the head and Derek admits he is at fault due to poor decision making. If he his the man he says he is , he should back the team even more.
With the support the club as and the foundations put in place I see the club thriving in 18 months time.
Pointless looking back now, though I agree with your last sentence entirely. If DB cannot see it through then he is not who we need as an owner (and I say that with no malice just a pure statement of opinion). Our club and it’s supporters need stability and a patient, structured vision for the future, funded by an owner/owners who cover the short term expenditures, with a view to the club becoming a self funding entity. I don’t profess to know the best way to do that (though a proper link with the amateur clubs and youth structure must be included at some point) but it needs a 5 year initial plan (with a further 5 year continuance plan) that is not dependent on blowing it all on a team(s) year one and two. Our fans are not stupid, and have shown that many are loyal despite big disappointments. Give them a future to buy into (maybe literally) and we will stay true and grow.
