The problem was portraying ourselves as punk football, only to chase funding that meant bending our principles to the extent of posing with Tory MPs on the £#%&!ing pitch. Then going on the defensive and attacking people who raised objections by deriding them as bullies.
Still, there's a number who claim that JP O'Neill cleverly manipulated people by only telling them one side of the story, lying and conniving to get them onside, to push out people he didn't like and run the club himself.
The trouble with that idea is that it completely ignores the absolute £#%&!ing landslide of board meeting minutes, forum posts, Facebook posts, Twitter updates (and, say, Tory MP photo opps
) etc, that those to blame posted
themselves, openly, in their own names, and which showed just how badly they had £#%&!ed up and just how much disdain they had for the co-owners of the club who either paid their wages or voted them in.
Some of them weren't even football fans, let alone United fans, and when we complained about, for example, some Boro supporting #@&%! pissing away OUR money and being handsomely paid for it, we got called bullies and thugs, on the club's own Twitter, on its Facebook page, on its official forum. The club we owned.
We are well rid of leeching @#%&!s like that, but there are people who'd rather he and his pals were still there.
As for Margy, I'm not qualified to say, but friends of mine reckon he's out of ideas.
Still, it's all very sad. Margy is an absolute FC legend and I wish him all the very best. Some brilliant, unforgettable memories thanks to him.
