I'm not buying that mate. He could've walked away instantly, stopped funding, let it go towards our equivalent of admin or whatever, but he did his best to tick until new owners. I can't remember who was running the Browns during his tenure but I know they were familiar enough names, and it was long known he wanted to sell but sell to the right owner to honour his dad.
And from my NFL memory, they had a decent upkick under the new ownership for a period as well - sadly unlike us where he tried to achieve the same thing lol
By your same argument, should we toss off Prince William as a fan, Tom Hanks, does Nigel Kennedy have a season ticket? - we're back to the bigger fan debate that I hate. He had more money than this forum combined could muster I imagine and he chose to sink over £300+m into us, it didn't work on the pitch owing to 'legal glasses' and it went downhill and we still had some good days.
But you never been prouder than Acorns (a financial mistake in reality), VMF and everything else?
The latter point of your post I completely agree with and it's also one of the things I don't blame him for either.
But we're all romantics - if your blood turns claret and blue, you don't need to provide a logbook for it after all....and detail each years commitment.
I started out as a Blues fan, attending their games - it was all I knew.
