Grant, you always come across as one of the more reasoned posters from our rivals. To be fair there was an interview on local radio with Bill Clark before the game and he pretty much absolved John McG and Paul Smith of any wrong doing surrounding the transfer, he pointed the finger directly at Sim, Sinton, McDonald and Morgan. They in turn instructed Karen McCartney to deal with the financial side of things so it seems the CEO had no input into the transfer.
I'm assuming many in attendance today would have heard the interview and would have been somewhat conflicted about their feelings towards the management team hence a kind of mixed reaction. The directors however shat it and never showed face, they were getting dugs abuse if they showed up.
