To be fair to him he has been funding a £5m a month working capital funding gap for nearly two years.  That is quite a lot of dough when you think about it.  Betting the house on one game though was the mistake.

By the way I read that we shelved plans to wear play off final suits as we couldn't afford £20k on them.  Whatever happened to Suits Plus - 2 for £100.

You do have to be fair to someone that has ploughed 150 million of their own cash in. He needs to accept his losses and sell up though.

Enough people cast serious doubts about this character when he bowled up. Even the FT couldn't get a handle on him. Despite this  and his bizarre  tweets many fans bought into the project, illustrating the desperation of a success starved club.

Its very sad but ultimately unsurprising.

Like Lerner it appears to have been a very expensive hobby - we don't need another " fan" we need a savvy sports business individual/s who can turn a profit/ break even whilst moving the club onwards

Can you provide the details of the £150m cash?

We dared to believe and we could still be believing if we had won at Wembley.  As it stands appears he is another football fraud.  Just wish it hadn't happened to our club.

I wouldn't wish this on any club.

The stuff in the press about this has almost been dictated by Wyness. There is far more to it. I am not sure who is briefing Collymore mind.

It was all the stuff yesterday about running out of cash and the fact that we’ve already borrowed against the final parachute payments.

I have no regrets backing him. I'd have got behind whoever it was who came in. That's what supporters do.

Not this supporter.  I don't blindly follow any old plank that has a claret and blue track suit on, I want what's best for the club in the long run.  It was always obvious that was never going to be Bruce.

I saw the Macquarrie thing, any ideas who else is lending.
