As you all aware I am not and never will be a supporter of Hubbard, that will never change but having listened to his interview I have to say that I thought it was his best interview to date, it is obvious that Rico is finished at the club and this is what most of us really want, I picked up about the new infester, if I'm correct and heard him correct it seemed that there was a group of investors rather than a single person and that they will be running the club. Is that a little hint that Hubbard maybe following Rico in the not too distant future? After all this club IMO really needs a clean sweep of everything and a whole brand new start. Good words now lets see the action get rid of Rico and restore the supporters faith in the club

You gonna get `ma` a beer at tonights then fish?

This is what I think.

Richardson was appointed by Mr H., first until the end of the relegation season of 06-07 with an implied trial period until the end of the season. He failed, but was given a contract for the following season (07-08) in spite of much criticism from the fans. This was at the same time that 'new investment' was on the horizon. In fact maybe Lester's signing was linked to this potential new investment? So Ricco takes us through 07-08 and fails again, at the same time the new investment talks go on, and on...It is then announced that Ricco is on another contract for 08-09...

The parallel I am trying to draw is that Richardson's period in charge is linked to the period upto the new investor(s) arriving in town. The fact that this has taken much longer than Mr. H had anticipated explains why the manager has been kept on as the new guy will want his own man and not a hastily arranged appoinment by the current Board.

So in summary, and reading between the lines of last night's interview it seems all will be sorted i.e. the new investment, the new ground and a new manager nearer to Christmas. Happy Christmas!!

Spot on,.
