If his presence puts some bums on seats and adds to the amount raised for charity, then I can't see a problem.

There's another thread running at the moment about how much we care about the club now as we've gotten older, compared to the past. I think his so called hatred of us has probably mellowed with the passage of time, in a similar manner. It's probably mellowed in a similar manner to my hatred of him, for hating the club I used to feel more connected to than I do now.
