I and many thousands of supporters should suffer the fatal consequences of your lack of financial planning.
As eloquent as ever WOB.
Why, O why RON did you continue to allow the debt to mount?
Surely it must have been patently obvious early in the cycle that the business plan was not achievable, and that the forecast revenue levels would not be achieved.
Crowds have risen, but were never going to be at the sustained level which delivered the revenues that you planned for reasons of geography and local competition which have been 'beaten to death' in other threads.
All I want, apart from your actual investment in the club, is for you to be man enough to admit that you got it wrong. This will be little enough reparation for the damage that the incompetent handling of finances has caused.
Once you have actually spent some real money you may retire to Spain and enjoy time, hopefully, well away from football.
