If Mr Bean hadn't mentioned South Yorkshire Police, someone on the Derbyshire Times or Bob's or even a nit like me might have brought it up. He can't undo his own past, never mind an entire police force's.
As I see it, if Mr Allen wants the club to survive and doesn't want it hanging like a Giant Blue Albatross round his neck all the way to the crematorium, then at some point he needs to give a little. The fans can't give - they haven't anything to give.
At some point, whether as a result violent revolution or simple logic the two sides have to sit down together ...... to discuss either the renaissance of the club or its funeral arrangements. I hope Mr Bean can play a positive role.
