Blantyreboy, whatever you think of how the fundraise was done doesn't really matter does it. At the end of the day we only had £3M left in the coffers.
What would you have preferred for him to have done, wait until we got down to our last million.
I said at the time that it should of been Gervaise Heddle doing the fundraise when we were in the 30's. That way he could of secured the future of GGP then, instead of handing the baton to someone else knowing that with him selling out, SD would take the flak for tripping up just before the line.
Heddle leaving with his head held high for him was to important, rather than him taking the flak off institutional investors who maybe would of jumped on board, only to find themselves in the same boat as many Pi's who jumped aboard back then.
That's all history now, we are were we are, but personally SD must be f'n seething underneath. He definitely got dealt a bad hand as far as i'm concerned. But from what I have seen of the man, I wouldn't change him for the world.
