Yup, people like to forget this. JH also didn't want Keates because so much of the fan base didn't want him including members. While those like JH tried to represent the members at all times, others liked spending other people's money knowing they're wouldn't be consequences. £10k on flames in the tunnel or spend it to make sure toilets are clean and have hot water, tough decision that one.

I mean a group of bricklayers couldn't do it, so what chance do a few actors have? Then someone will pipe up about money,but so far they've spent no more money than the trust ever had and things are improving drastically.
