Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3187274, member: 1847"] I don't blame Bennett for anything, nor am I scapegoating him. I blame the club for agreeing to Boyd's contract. It was the club who signed on the dotted line. And I also blame the club for sacking Bennett the way they did and when they did, and for the consequences of that - Seibold and what followed, including the "Karl and Pies" show. All of it is on the club. As for what Mimis said publicly, or other "multiple sources" well, that tells me absolutely nothing other than what happened at the negotiating table. It's less what's across the table, and more behind closed doors that interests me. Reading between the (dotted) lines. Not simply accepting things at face value. And I don't think Mimis told any porkies. Nor did White. However, unlike you, I say that it was not, as you put it, "Bennett's undying gratitude" that's at issue, it's Boyd's, for what he scored, via Mimis's agency through Bennett's advocacy, and was that in the best interests of the club, or Boyd's? Who knows, although from memory, a few on here have strong views about that. Yet, again, that's not my main point. My real point was to scrutinize the extent of Bennett's influence on this club, with one example being his obviously now, hotly contested role in the club's agreement to Boyd's contract. [/QUOTE]
