With all due respect to them our club is on another level , we deal in millions here not thousands of pounds .
Patrick is a local owner but it's a business with a CEO , chairman , academy manager etc etc we employ a hell of a lot of people by comparison with Exeter City , it's a million quid plus annually to run the academy , corporate hospitality to manage , it's not a two bob part time job for enthusiastic supporters two nights a week .
Those days have gone at this level , the growth of the PL has transformed this league into something none of us of my age could have envisaged at one time .
We have to react with the times or we die .
Risk and reward , yeh it can go tyts up I wouldn't ever discount that for one minute .
What choice do we have with Patrick's health other than to go with it .
