My own view is we will always be in potential trouble- just like every other club really, (even the perfect Swansea everyone used to be jealous of). And if a time happens when it all seems too good to be true- then it probably is and a fall will come soon.

I don’t think I’ve ever liked any of our owners, I certainly have never trusted any of them and I’m sure I never will. Just the way it is. The way it should be in my opinion- fans getting too close to owners rarely ends well- as we know better than anyone.
All well and good - but I view owners as custodians of our football clubs. Football clubs probably get a little more protection than other businesses when it comes to things like name, location and (only recently) club colours. Fans getting close to owners never ends well - I agree - but fans holding owners to account, not much wrong with that is it?
