I wasn't sure what to post about this and so I've slept on it.
Dean came in to the club in 2008 and was like a breath of fresh air, he could see the club was stale and going nowhere fast, he could see fans had pretty much given up and decided that change and investment was needed. and for the best part of 10 years he had loyalty from the fans that was unmatched I would say anywhere else in the Premier/Football League.
He then got ill in late 2018 and that's where everything began to unravel, because he wasn't there, we were effectively rudderless, the other members of the board were just yes men/women and had no financial or football input. Despite soundbites we did sleepwalk into relegation and by the end of the season he had decided to sell up. The whole deal to sell the club and how it was structured has held the club back to this very day IMO and has tainted Dean Hoyles time at the club, I know many many others have this very same opinion.
I wish him well for the future and hope that any deal to buy the club is done with any debt owed to Dean and Phil vastly reduced/written off otherwise I feel we are going to be in a much worse position than we have been up to date
