thought the captain went down with the ship

Having read IJN's, Chris Webb's, (and others), reports from various meetings etc., it seems to me that he pulled us away from the brink on a few occasions ?
Although he is no saint, and I have been dubious about his involvement with the administrators and Heaney, I still feel that his "slipperyness" worked to our advantage and that he did our fight for survival more good than harm. I do believe that without his involvement we may have been gone months ago.
I also feel that he would have been a very useful Chairman/CEO for the club...under Brent's financial control.
However, that may not appeal to him so he will be off to pastures new with his reputation possibly repaired slightly !?
Anyway, I say thanks for your effort and good luck in any future "project".

Spot on greenpig!! Thanks from me too. I hope we don't 'rue the day' so to speak, I think the guy had a lot to offer, but it looks like we'll never know. Anyway, I'm pleased the 'anti-PR mob' are happy...even if they never saw past his reputation. Oh well, back to being a Big City Small Club, at least we still have a team.

JB is highly unlikely to give him anything like the freedom that he thought he would get were he to effectively own the club. His motives are to be his own boss (in some shape of form) rather than being beholden to another owner and that wont happen here now. Even he must also realise that he has split the fan base and that he will always be tainted by what has happened both on and off the pitch during the past year or so.
At the end of the day his great plan has back fired upon him and there are no viable opportunities left for him at Argyle. The writing is on the wall in 20 foot high letters and he has finally read what is up there. I am sure also that some poor offering is waiting in the wings for his limitless talent and he cannot wait to get his hands on another golden opportunity.
