I think Steve Borley is an honourable man. He has supported our club through thick and thin, and has frequently put his health and his money on the line. He may have made some bad decisions, but I think every one of them was what he believed was in the best interests of the club.

I also don't like the attacks on Scott young, who has been a great servant of the club over a number of years. Maybe he isn't a great coach, but once again I think he is doing his very best. (Which sadly may not be good enough.)

I don't think either men like whats happening at the club, however they have to be more diplomatic (in public at least) than we need to be.

How about we stop attacking each other, and focus on the real enemy TAN. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL.

I agree with a lot of what you say but there's being diplomatic and then there is going completely OTT to defend the rebrand and belittling long term supporters who had a different viewpoint. He was best to say nothing at all or at least stick to "the rebrand was necessary to save the club" line.

Spot on, Steve lost a lot of respect from a lot of supporters for the way he behaved at the time.
It won't be forgotten.

Mind you, some of it is now comedy gold. It was recalled on Twitter only yesterday when the red seats were first rumoured in the new stand that Borley tweeted he didn't care what colour they would be as someone would always be sat on them in games so nobody would see them.

Nigel is correct in as much as that it wont be forgotten, but that SB's previous altruism and 'City through and through' actions will have become overshadowed (for many) by more recent stories.

I think its fair to imagine that very very few of us ever get to know exactly what is going on behind the scenes, but collectively we dissect it based upon guesswork and interpretation of how thing appear to be.

In the latter respect, SB's recent actions do
seem uncomfortably at odds with his admirable earlier actions.

Why? It's only football after all. Maybe watching football is what most of us want to do and
really we shouldn't concern ourselves too much with matters beyond our control.

Just to clarify, you still have me on ignore, but you quote me directly as in the post above. Either you're lying or you have lied.
