He's that rich as he isn't stupid. However, buying into our club and thinking he could make a profit does suggest otherwise. Ultimately though, he's been very unlucky with regard to timing and the pandemic.Quote:

Of course we'll do it. We'll do it now, next year and forever more and he probably knows we'll do it, but for me this is the difference between having a Yank with no ties to the club whatsoever and say, having a lifelong fan who has the club at heart. I don't recall Eddie asking the fans to chip in to save the club. Again, we'll do it and always will as we love the club, but the man needs to open his eyes a bit. He's invested in our club and should realised how big a deal this is. You can't go and buy success then plead poverty when things don't work out. He's just emptied the coffers at DUSF when he probably has 100 times that amount sitting in a bank account somewhere.Quote:

In my honest opinion the money Ogren asked for is a drop in the ocean to the club but our reputation has been damaged by him even asking for it.The impression many will have drawn is that we were on the point of collapse whereas i think it was more a case of the owner throwing his toys oot the pram saying,"This is not fair why are we even playing football?,and why do i keep having to write check's?."
