No, begging is a slight exaggeration. Don't take talk like that so literally. The fact he came in & announced he was expecting to make profit (unlikely), then a year down the line is asking for funds from, as GB says, ordinary fans, some of whom will be living on minimum wage, doesn't sit right with me. Of course we'll do it. We'll do it now, next year and forever more and he probably knows we'll do it, but for me this is the difference between having a Yank with no ties to the club whatsoever and say, having a lifelong fan who has the club at heart. I don't recall Eddie asking the fans to chip in to save the club. Again, we'll do it and always will as we love the club, but the man needs to open his eyes a bit. He's invested in our club and should realised how big a deal this is. You can't go and buy success then plead poverty when things don't work out. He's just emptied the coffers at DUSF when he probably has 100 times that amount sitting in a bank account somewhere.
