Im sorry John, but I have to disagree, its not the same at all. The money that SH has personally lost is more than Ridsdale will ever dream of earning, and far outweighs anything SH took out in wages, are you not forgetting that he wrote off £6.5 million, to make the club saleable? Every club has to sell players at some point, and promises to replace them with like, but most don't, even Man U with Ronaldo are guilty of it. So I don't hold that against SH or Ridsdale, it has to be done sometimes.
Whatever money SH put into the club, was loaned largely through institutions, and personally guaranteed. He never stooped as low as to dupe the fans into stumping up £3million, to get the club out of a hole he had created, like Ridsdale has done. For me, that action is more despicable than anything SH was guilty of at this club, and something that can never be forgiven, and why he must leave this club.

there is a story behind writing the 6.5 million off that will come out one day when the dust settles.
and it gave the club the opportunity to oust sam.
he once asked the board to vote on sacking lenny and they voted to get rid of lenny to a man.
sam went to tell lenny only to come back within ten minutes and told them it was his club and their opinion did not count.
lenny stayed longer and one of the board members quit days later.
