If Hilton can’t handle comments on a messageboard that aren’t supportive, deary me. My experience is that companies fail because of fragile egos at the top who cannot handle dissenting opinion, which often leads to poor decision making and poor staff happiness and support. The fact is that Hilton lied to us, saying that he hasn’t used other names besides Hilton and White, hasn’t been to prison, said that fraud claims were nonsense and launched accusations against anyone for suspecting he had. Even those, like the owners of this site, who hadn’t even got involved with these accusations.
After all this, we’re supposed to just accept it and believe anything he says, or we’re at fault? Nope, doesn’t work that way, I’m afraid. He’s had the backing of many, still does, but has been found to be dishonest about an incredibly serious issue after stoking division against those who had concerns. I was concerned before, and that wasn’t good enough, and now some of the concerns have come true it is still not good enough, apparently. Nothing will be good enough, seemingly, other than clapping and giving moral support to someone I do not think is fit to run a football club given his shadiness, aversion to honest disclosure (until he can no longer refute) and still more concerns around (not paying players, for example).
I have discussed the perilous nature of our position and have said multiple times that I realise it’s not a case of him cutting dry for our sakes. However, ideally he finds someone and sells up to someone more befitting, so him and his circus can clear off and we don’t have the mess which seemingly travels wherever he goes. Of course, he can prove me wrong, but after months of nonsense from his mouth I think I am entitled to be outright sceptical of the guy. He controls this football club, not me or others pontificating away on a football messageboard. Any negative fallout from his decisions will be on him.
