What destruction? He appointed two managers who not only had popular appeal at the time but were both on the short list of many HOL members to replace Holloway here. Neither seem to have worked out but you can't blame the chairman for that. If he turned up at the High Court a couple of years ago when the club was just about to be consigned to oblivion and said that he would save them and inject shedloads of money on condition they changed their colours to red I would imagine that every single supporter would have been in favour I'll ask you the same question.
