What of Mr Lerner? Well, I don't know him at all, but what I will say is this: if I'd saved a football club from beginning a doom-laden slide, forked out for mosaics, stuck a mate on the fansites, turned down sponsorship money, paid for Stiliyan Petrov, Ashley Young and Nigel Reo-Coker, and a fair bit for some others too, I wouldn't be too pleased to find myself, my wallet and my commitment being questioned by nonplussed football fans.
