Our position is collective failings, everyone in the boardroom is equally to blame as the next.
It’s clear to me, our decline accelerated after the loss of Vichai. Could he have arrested it? Possibly, because he would have made the right decisions that wouldn’t have landed us in this mess. Top’s naivety and lack of business nouse has cemented the decline further.
I think Rudkin is out of his depth, he’s probably better suited elsewhere in the club, I don’t think he’s got the ruthless aggressive edge you need to be a DOF…
I agree new prospective buyers will be getting a club with the blueprint to return to successful ways, but they’ve got to ensure the sale writes off any debts, then they will be inheriting a club in a better position that when KP purchased it. Naturally they will have to, and you’d like to think whoever does buy the club, and actually pays the £200m plus for it, they will be willing to invest in the club, because why would you spend that much on it in our position if you didn’t want to?
