Dave Allen is a shrewd businessman in everything he has done except for his involvement in football!!!! He is a mini Donald Trump, its not about the club or the players or the fans, its all about him, and while that may work when you are the head of a regular company where your ownership is not disputed or challenged, it doesn’t work in football because ultimately its the fans that “own” clubs!! DA cannot accept that the fan adulation is always towards the players/manager in good times but generally against him in bad times, that is the life of a football club owner and if your ego cannot take that then football ownership is not for you!!!
He left us in a terrible state, that to be fair he didn’t create, but he did make worse and he clung on until 15 minutes before we were due to be wound up before he relented and struck a deal with Mandaric, and even then he extracted his piece of flesh that he felt he was owed. His attitude towards the fans is something that will never be forgiven, to sue fans for their criticism on social media and other media fits his persona perfectly, the fans are not employees and they don’t have to say or do what you want them to say or do, and he could never live with that. Thankfully our current owner finally paid him off after Mandaric sold us and we no longer owe anything to him. He will be remembered at S6 as someone who came in when we were down on our knees, and he preceeded to chop off our lower legs so that we didn’t sink any lower but couldn’t stand up either!!! The quicker you can get rid of him the better, but he will want a price that sees him benefit, he will not sell you in a way that is good for the club, he will sell you when its the right deal for Dave Allen and him alone!!
