We've certainly had some interesting and exciting times since he bought his stake. The man himself admits to making many mistakes but there are many, many worse owners around. Personally, given the cost of running a Championship football club nowadays, I feel rather more secure having him and Ruben supporting us than most of the other options. In fact, my bigger worry is that he'll tire of all the stick he gets and walk away. Where would we be then?
He's undeniably well-intentioned, ambitious and rich. One can debate how real the new training ground and stadium plans are but we'd never get within a million miles of either without the current owners. Call me gullible if you will but I actually believe the management team are trying damned hard to make these dreams a reality.
