Mike Garlick has led the club very well, ably assisted by John B. These guys are smart. They know that their own finances couldn't keep BFC at this level. So, they've built the club up, ensured we are in the Premier League and are now on the verge of passing on to an organisation with the wherewithal to keep building the club.Colburn_Claret wrote: ↑Wed Dec 23, 2020 12:20 pmI know I'm in the minority, but I liked the way MG ran the club. Not for profit, and living within our sustainable means, was painful but necessary. I'd have plodded on as we were, and if that meant relegation so be it.
But the thought that we aren't going to the Egyptian bid, fills me with so much relief it makes the whole thing bearable.

I've not met MG. I don't know him. I've met John B once and that was at a business event. I've also worked with a couple of guys who, before they both became my colleagues, had worked for John B's firm - and told me about their office trips to Turf Moor for their annual Xmas party.
But for covid-19 it would have been a lot smoother these past several months.
Exciting times.
