Francis, so nice of you to respond by extending an olive branch. Perhaps it might be wise to leave politicians of every colour, persuasion and country out of this particular debate and concentrate on the football.

Could we have your detailed 10 point plan of how to take this 100 year football club forward please and preferably without the simplistic solution of standing behind the directors box with red cards chanting "out, out, out." Any fool can do that and bully another 10 to join in, but it takes some creative thinking and a huge amount of work to actually put forward a workable plan B that isn't as brutally simple as "we should spend more money."

If my memory serves me correctly, I did ask of you this very same question within the last couple of years and unsurprisingly nothing was forthcoming.

What amazes me is that people have witnessed the death of Bury FC without so much as a mention on this board. Is that really what you want for Queen of the South?
