So, if you'll forgive me Riley, what I think you're missing is that the new stadium and promotion to the Championship should have provided the club with the perfect platform to make the incremental progress that Tony Stewart talked about.
The finances coming into the club from significant TV revenue, higher class sponsorship and increased season ticket sales will never have been greater for a club of our size and yet there seems to have been no coherent strategy to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
I agree we have seen much, much worse situations than the current one but what is happening to our club now is so disappointing and the lack of communication with supporters is simply unacceptable.
Tony Stewart saved the club and dragged it kicking and screaming into the 21st century but all that good work is slowly going down the toilet as we lurch from one crisis to another and the chairman is nowhere to be seen.
Good leaders always shine when things get bad so I guess we'll see what Mr Stewart is made of in the next few days.
