I was very sceptical when ME's interest was announced and wanted official supporter representation on the board. But keeping Catlin was a major plus and after last nights meeting it was obvious that ME had taken on board alot of concerns. He really would be an idiot to ignore supporter's views - and his family would be as well.

But he knows how to promote and build businesses. Something that the current board know very little about. They 'missed a trick' with the monthly direct debit from fans idea by years. They either clearly don't think in a business way or were happy to sit back and enjoy owning a club. But I don't think we would last with the direct debit strategy. When League 1/Division 2 was renamed The Championship it was clearly a marketing ploy. Someone (Sky, BT, the EFL or whoever) is trying to turn The Championship into a marketable worldwide thing. It will take some time, but already the signs are there with wages and transfers as there are some big clubs in that division. For us - costs would go up and up, success would become less and less, crowds would go down and ultimately we would become unsustainable and go bust.

I've read a few articles about Eisner and noted that when he decides to leave or sell a business it goes to a new owner who is 'fit and proper' and carries on the success. He can't be responsible for who he sells on to but it looks like he tries his best. Hopefully his family think that way as well.

I think Eisner is the best bet. There seems to be a resistance to selling to anyone by some shareholders going by last nights audience. 'It's ower club and no one else can have it' they seem to be thinking - but going that way will kill it unless you want a park team to support.
