Did you not expect someone to answer you as you did not want to get drawn in?

".....spent a little of the money" - which "money" are we talking of?

What I meant by not being drawn in was, my comments were neither positive or negative, just making the point that it is a fruitless debate as there can be no resolution to it. Both camps believe they are right to a varying level, but we will never know if JP had spent a "little more of the money" from the extra profit gained from the new TV deal, if he may have been even more successful.

It's "a fruitless debate" in your words but you still push on to suggest the Chairman should have spent a "little more of the money". Which money?  As far as I recall, the c£14million profit declared for last year was the most profit we have declared in JP's time.  The revised, substantially increased, TV income does not commence until next season and all that extra income will not necessarily translate to profit, as you seem to think.  Costs will increase and other clubs will have extra income with which to compete against us.

I have been supporting the Baggies and attending matches for over sixty years.  In that time, I cannot recall an Albion dynasty that has been as progressive and successful as JP's.  I'm not just talking about on the pitch here. If you can, just recall what the Club was when JP came in to what it is now.
