If so why would it change now? On paper this consortium is not doing anything different to what Patrick did towards the latter end of his reign. Maybe James Cryne is in full agreement with the consortium as to how they currently run the club.
This debate hinged around our only link to the past in the form of James Cryne who as Pass says did not want to have owt to do with running the club & has shown no inclination to stick his head above the parapet
To me it's a question of " if you don't recognise the past" [or even the present] you have little or no chance of changing the future
It's my belief that JC will not change his position[or lack of it] so pinning hopes on that scenario is pointless
He's in it for nowt else but money & easy money at that
If his intention was to influence matters he has nailed his colours well & truly to the mast
If that doesn't sit well with some then so be it
Time will tell
Don't know how the consortium of which he is a member can make life uncomfortable for him. Chinese burn perhaps
