I think it's indisputable that Sir John was primarily a fan. The fact he came to games, brought along celebrity friends, walked to Wembley with Yuri G etc.
When Brian M was promoted up to first team coach and manager it all felt like these were 'our' people, people who cared about each other, the fans and the town.
This link between owner/manager, fans and players seems broken. Jaap just seems incapable of calling a spade a spade. When we played quite well against Villa he said very much the same as after losing to Birmingham. It's grey cliches that amount to nothing.
What's happened to the scouting at the club. Shorey senior connected to the club through friendship and blood turned up Long and Doyle they cost virtually nothing and both sold for good profit.
Let's get some of those under 23's into the first team and clear out the journey men.
