I know you keep harping on about Clowes as a "newbie", but given there are numerous examples of owners of football clubs knowing very little about owning and running a football club from the football side of things who have been successful, its clear that in depth knowledge of football isn't a pre requisite for success.
We disagree that it’s ‘irrelevant’ but so be it.
Either way, that’s what he was and my comment was actually a positive. It is my opinion that Eustace will prove to be a better manager and I know you keep ‘harping on’ about me ‘harping on’ but Clowes was a ‘newbie’ in terms of football club ownership - fact - and he will have learned a great deal over the last three seasons which will, I believe, benefit us.
