Many happenings of the Sam years were ridiculous but I don't think it was a disaster
Sam Hammam dragged this club up but he was a very manipulative man and some of the people he influenced are still unable to tell it like it is and that's disingenuous
We had some great times under him but he treated Wimbledon like a toy and very nearly did the same with us
I think if he had been more realistic from the start and been more open to getting other people involved then things might not have ended so badly
I think his attitude gave the local business community the excuse they needed not to get more involved and the club ended up isolated
Sam Hammam years were great in my opinion. Perhaps not on as solid a foundations as we would have liked but the club moved forward enormously in those few years.
And more than anything else it was fun, and it was cool to be a City fan and sometimes that kinda thing does matter

Get your season tickets early and we'll invest in players* (*no we won't, we're just desperate for cash)
