Al tried, spent a lot of money he couldn't afford along the way and failed, ultimately costing us our league status. I don't think any of those are the reasons that fans seemed to turn against him. It was the sale and the lies and false hope he kept giving us. Non payment of wages seemed to be the start of it and it emerged that he seemed to be asking far too much for a something that was worth next to nothing and deliberately putting us in jeopardy to save his own neck. That might seem a tad harsh on someone who has lost so much wad but he chose to spend it and he pretty much chose what to spend it on, no-one forced him into such a high risk venture, his choice.
