Or Michael O'Leary and call ourselves The Packers.
I started following our club in 1989(ish) and have had many more good times than bad. I understand the dismantling of European Champions (albeit before my time) and the reluctance to really push on when we came close to cracking it in the 90's, but I find it hard to hate the man as so many do.

One of my best mates is an Arsenal fan and in the early 90s they were in decline while we were going the other way. Herbert could've invested to push us that bit further but instead he chose to line his own pockets with our money. As a result, we're getting turned over by shit teams like Brentford whilst Arsenal fans are protesting because they haven't reached the Champions League for the first time in two decades!!I've got more time for Randy Lerner than Doug.
His performance with the Barton family around the testimonial is still classed as unforgivable in my family.
