[Salopbaggie]

Its pretty much a fruitless debate because the pro JP camp can point to what DID happen and justify their argument by well we are a well run "financially" club which I do not think anyone can argue with.

The anti JP camp can and will argue what might have been and as it didn't happen it is pure speculation, with no evidence either way.

The only other fact we can be sure of is this "lifelong fan" is going to walk away with more than a £100 million pounds profit he will have made from the club.

Does that sound like he ran it as a football club or a money making venture? I will leave that to the debating team

If the Club should sell for the sort of figure being spoken of that would surely be a mark of the Chairman's successful leadership, wouldn't it?  Would you rather he'd been unsuccessful?

I was not going to get drawn in, hence my neutral remarks if you read them carefully.  But why does it have to be so black and white with some of you? 

Who knows how successful or not we might have been if JP had spent a little of the money.  Your comment about would I rather him be unsuccessful is a little silly I am afraid and deserves a silly answer. 

I just wish he was not so successful and the club was more successful or put another way I would be happy with him taking that level of profit if we did not face a relegation battle year on year (yes bar two before anyone says different).
