I did mean Wednesdayite the organisation, but boorish oafs or not, when you've got people who are that close, that committed to their club choosing to just walk away, then it is sad imo.

I agree completely, FKB. Some of them - admittedly few, as far as I can see! - are just football fans who support their club and are watching it implode in front of their eyes.
I'd far sooner we were on a level playing field, to be fair, and they were just **** on the pitch rather than from board level down. Whilst I can't deny that there's a certain amount of perverse satisfaction to be gained from the utter car crash that the club has become, it's a hollow victory for us to some extent because they're fighting with one arm tied behind their back. To me, it's like the Ashes - it would have meant nothing if the Aussies had gone ahead with their strike and we'd have thrashed a skeleton crew of Antipodean players.
That said, it's fascinating to watch, and great sport listening to the excuses and flounderings of the more vocal and deluded unclean who are desperately trying to take something from the current situation but are in the rather difficult position of seeing us lording it over them despite having spent a fraction of the money they've wasted over the past few years.
