I feel like a bit of an observer of all of this wrangling … though someone did accuse me of ‘popping in’ a few weeks ago when I ventured a comment. Obviously made the mistake of thinking that a forum was for sharing opinions.
My opinion on the sort of exchange I see above is that there is a lack of generosity towards Hilton which manifests from some posters in zero appreciation of any achievements and total recognition of any failings. He may be battling to come to terms with the step up he has made ..in financial and other terms… he may even have bitten off more than he can chew … but I think Pat and others are sick of the absence of ‘slack’ being given. Some of the posters repeatedly take it past the kind of respectful reservation that Deerey and Sidey defend. My view is that there are several posters with a grudge against either Hilton or the club and I’m not surprised that folks are exasperated with them. All the constant hints at financial collapse, eviction and defamation of Hilton will have cost the club at least some amount of support ..maybe 10 or 20 or 50 season tickets. I don’t expect it to stop anytime soon but hope that we get through choppy waters and people’s worst fears can be left behind.
