From the very start when signs were looking strained shall we say, the calls for protest, boycotts etc could well have led to him saying f**k this who needs the hassle, and he could have walked away, possibly with his fingers slightly burnt, but lesson learnt, and we'd have been in the shit.
However now, it wouldn't be his fingers but his whole body that get's burnt, he got far too much invested and tied up in the club to walk away, yeh he could sell it, and that may well be a good thing depending on who steps in, but at least we are in a position where we are at least sell able, and almost attractive to investors.
Perhaps this is part of his plan and possibly why he wants 98% of the shares, but if that is the case and he makes money and we get a new owner, then so be it, it will be far from the worse position we were in only a few years back.
He can no longer bury his head in the sand and allow the positives of good results and promotion to help him. The rebrand was painful, and we all know if results hadn't gone our way, the fences would have been down, he rode his luck and got away with it to some degree,yes he played his part in that success, but if he feels it's down to him and him alone, then he going to have a surprise, yeh, he supported Malky, but if he thinks he can simply replace him and carry on making progress, then personally I think that is madness.
He could well quote events at Southampton, and to some extent he'd be right, I love Malky as a real man, great manager and good honest bloke and would hate to see him leave, but we must all accept that if he was lucky enough to replace him and climb even higher, then Malky would become a distant memory like Nigel Adkins was at Saints.
However, if he does replace him, there will be ructions, and that period until possible success may not come quick enough, if at all, then what does he do.
I think the noose is tightening, unfortunately I don't think any of us can second guess what he may do next, and that includes people that would claim to know him as well.![]()
Waiting and praying for Malky to come out and make some sense of it all and put things right, in Malky we trust. If VT as got any sens at all, he will get him on side and get him now.
