Correct - but don't let the part time/once a season/left a long time ago detractors on here use that as an excuse not to have a pop.
The Ek Clyde thing was always going to make him a divisive figure and undo - to some - all of the sterling work done in saving the club. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but when the man stated the only option available at the time was to change name and move - I believed him and still do. Things have changed.
What's not changed to me is his commitment, like all of the other CURRENT board members, who put in thankless shifts with out much recognition. Many have stated on here how good and attractive a team we have on the park this season. Yes the manager is box office and is key in getting these players in, but he always thanks the board of directors for allowing him to secure these players.
I'd much rather have a JA in and around the club than publicity hungry, name dropping, blazer chasing whores like Bobby Gracey, Garry(weird spelling) Ballantyne, David Dalziel, Tommy Smith, or anyone else whose vision resides on the back of a fag packet, and the clouds of smoke that emanate from them. IN short I'd rather have those tasked with running the club to have the club at heart and not themselves.
