My remarks were made in response to a particular comment by Brauny Blue and related to the fact that I believe that MON's managership was only good for us in the short term. I note that you have still not denied that there was a progression along the lines I quoted. If you want to suggest that I was inferring that MON was the cause of us going into administration, that is a matter for you. What I have written since should make it clear that I think there was a variety of causes - and there are others which I have not mentioned.
I do believe however that the board pre-the Donington Park showdown held a tighter rein than the one that was formed after it. I do believe that that board would have not give PT the amount of latitude to spend, spend, spend. I do believe that with that board we would not have reached the position where we had to go into administration. MON and his methods started the process that got rid of that board.
In a sense what I am saying is that MON became bigger than the Club and in the long-term, I believe that was not of service to the Club. In years to come, it may be seen that CL's rebuilding has a longer-lasting effect than did MON's few years of glory.
I'm sorry that you feel that I will not discuss this to a conclusion; I have difficulty in knowing what you would like the conclusion to be. Please continue to debate or not - as you choose.
did point 1 lead to point 6 ....yes or no?
