Pretty much where I'm at. It would be laughable to think anyone would buy a football club without having access to decent advice, a good understanding of how owners are viewed when things aren't on a never-ending upward spiral, and funds to see it through to at least a point where they can walk away unharmed. It's also likely that if you do a half decent job you'll get the losses covered and the asset (the club, en masse) will appreciate. Sympathy will always be limited. Respect for what he did will remain. Clearly had no obligation to buy in, nor to take the risk of building NYS when we were in L2, and he will remain part of the club's history whatever happens.
It's easy to be passionate when it's not your money... yeah, maybe. It's also easy to ignore the lot, and disregard thousands of fans who's relationship with the club is a huge part of their life when you have the sort of financial insulation and freedom that comes with being in a position to own a club... which is how TS will end up being viewed by a number of fans if there are no real signs of trying to turn our situation around.
I'm full of respect for TS and think the positives over his tenure far outweigh any negatives, but I'm also of the belief that people who acquire vast fortunes require a certain amount of good luck on top of any work ethic, business acumen and specialist skills they may have, and for that reason I've no doubt that others who maybe missed out on the good luck when running their businesses, would have also been very good owners too. In other words, pay the due respect to owners who do the right things, but let's stop short of glorifying them to a point where we ignore the unspoken responsibility they have to do right by the fans until they depart.
