It isn’t the darkness of the times we are now that worries me most, but the darkness of the times yet to come. I haven’t heard anything to re-assure me. One of the most inept Powerpoint presentations I have seen and a feeble Q&A may have been an attempt to communicate, but it only worried me all the more. Incompetence and arrogance are a recipe for disaster and this regime has big helpings of both.
I dont really think it matter whether he's the worst owner or not on whatever scale you're using.
What we do know is that he's not a good owner and shes not a good CEO. Frankly they're both right up there in taking us into what feel like the darkest times for a long while.
I think by whatever measure you chose to adopt RD is definitely not the worst.
His plan / vision or whatever you want to call it is unorthodox and most definitely won't work but he has invested in the infrastructure of the club and showed that he is willing to spend more money on players than anyone in our history apart from Murray when we had a few quid in the PL.
He doesn't get football so the glaring errors that he makes which stick out to us just pass him by.
In my supporting years we've had the Gliksteins who almost criminally allowed the Valley to run down to the point if it being an unsafe dump. It's not even as if money was spent on the team.
Hulyer was not wealthy enough to last albeit I think he had good intentions.
Fryer will never be forgiven for his betrayal of the club.
Murray still remains our best ever but as we all know in the end he too just wasn't rich enough.
The spivs were chancers although if the "Cash" backer had stayed on board I think we would be playing in the PL by now or at least challanging.
RD saved us from possible oblivion and we remain fireproof from administration. No idea where we will end up with him but I believe the club will survive to be sold on at some point. Three years ago I was seriously worried that it wouldn't.

No way is RD the worst.
