Personally, I think the scepticism is to be expected after his tenure. During it we were told not to listen to the ‘rumours’, which included a lot of truth, because Dave said otherwise. Now we’re being told to again place trust in honest Dave after he’s gone because you came on here and shared an email. Like I said, it provided some info on the debts paid off, but much of the rest is Dave’s word and I have zero interest in sharing emails for what is now a pointless task. I would be glad to see what happened come out in the wash, but I have zero interest in Dave or someone on the behalf of Dave coming out of nowhere saying he has ‘the truth’ to share.
One of the problems was him and his reliance on spokesmen to air his side of the story, which ended in abuse and intimidation through Herbert. It was all an unbecoming and unedifying part of our history and I would rather things come through the club and the media, like they are doing now under our more professional and trustworthy Harness ownership, than return to the days of Hilton’s ramshackle information sharing.
