Interesting read.

(Cos it's mostly quotes and little DCT BS)

Good statement.

If I had one criticism of the way that they have handled it though, I think it would have been a lot more effective if Nelms had spoken on webcam for a couple of minutes and put it up on the official site. It seems silly but reckon that it would have stopped a bit of the panic early on and given some sort of human aspect to it. By not doing so, quotes are flying around and DC Thompson are basically setting the agenda.

That's it in a nutshell Harry.

Although the whole episode was a hard pill to swallow, I think John Nelms reponses, make the whole situation, sound more reasonable & acceptable.

Not so long ago JN gave some short interviews/statements on video. And I was pleasantlty surprised he came over very well .... (decent and honest)

It makes me wonder why he does not do a short regulat video Club/fan/supporter update more often. It would help break the long periods of silence
