Its a long time since this was a club Rich, but its now very clear its business, lets hope its not a franchise, as you suggest, as they are often designed to be sold but it does very much look like one.
I was going to suggest that bears get replaced by sheep for all those who accept and follow without questioning. It may be a done deal, but it stamps though most of what's left for me to believe in about the team. Whilst survival was vital, I don't believe at win at all costs. Something are more important to some of us, but clearly not all us.
