CT is clever, clever enough to have made himself Mr Allen's man.
The equation with Morsy is whether he is so central to our fight against relegation that it is worth losing the ONLY transfer fee we are ever likely to get for him to stay in Division One.
I went on Bob's Board yesterday - a naive, myopic and very angry place. Isn't it true that most of our debt is to Mr Allen? And that anyway his wealth assures us that our debt will not immediately be called in? So we have to get used to the fact we are tied to him and his fat man Mr Turner. They are part of our data.
I don't like or trust Mr Turner, but we've won titles and cups under his stewardship. An international academy is a good idea. Our ground is the envy of many and our support in relative terms is good - look at Rochdale, much larger population, less than half the attendance.
Of course there've been crap decisions. Mr Saunders is clearly a good football man, but has failed at every management opportunity. Mr Sheridan stayed when he demonstrably had no idea where to turn next. We failed to invest in players we might have kept for the future, but did invest in others who didn't quite match their reputation ...... But if you change the names these are problems that will be recognised at many other clubs.
It's worth remembering we did try one of the alternatives - a corrupt chairman who wasn't allowed to pass Go and went straight to jail.
