When businesses are nationally and internationally ridiculed it doesn't exactly help to gain investment, and will probably restrict it. I have yet to see or hear one person from the football community in this country support Mr. Allam in this regard, and have only seen one press article in support. How can this help the club to go forward? How can we attract top chief executives and marketing teams when their employer comes across as an arrogant bully?
Being an "arrogant bully" who never backed down and followed their instincts sure hurt Sir Fergie, Steve Jobs, Alan Sugar, Bill Gates and loads of other ridiculed but hugely successful business men. Sugar's an excellent example in fact, as he makes Dr A look like a pussy cat, yet people are queuing up to work for him, and to be ridiculed by him.
Strange then that the first and third have got their clubs into the Premier League, and the second has kept his there. If you're talking about "wealthy idiots = failure" then have a look at the Venkys at Blackburn and Steve Lansdown at Bristol City - both haven't got a clue about how to make a football club successful. On the other hand if you mean "idiot = doing something you don't like" as a fan, then you're probably on the money.

The fact is, that the Glazers and Ashley are deeply unpopular with their respective fans, but are not generally considered to be clueless Venkys, Tan and unfortunately now Allam, are.
