No I get what's in it for him. I just don't see the relationship between him and the fans as tenable and I would imagine he is fully aware of that.
I just don't see how it could possibly work.
What I'd say mate is that from my experience with people like Methven, they fall into two sets. Either a complete lack of self awareness or they are aware and don't care because they have skin thicker than a rhino's hide. I don't know Methven, but from what's been said about him, I'd say he falls into the second category. It won't matter to him what we think of him, so long as he can get what he wants from being associated with us and by extension the new owners.
Anyway, I've caught up on the thread now, and finished off half a bottle of Russian Standard to celebrate. Thank god for autocorrect!
