SP’s sole contribution all those years ago was to hijack organised resistance in the shape of the supporters trust for his own gain. It was on the back foot from the get-go thanks to him gobbing off at Sotnick every fifteen minutes.
For all his current sniping, SP offers no alternative to Boston’s current situation, mainly because there is none. It was rescued by a property development firm so it’s hardly surprising that the club’s future now rests in the middle of a complicated property development scheme that, if successful, will deliver a new ground for the club, substantial investment in the town itself and also allow Newton to reward himself for what will have been a decade of pain as chairman. Mission accomplished. He can then divest himself of the football club, which, hopefully, can run within its means for many years to come, ideally as a sustainable, socially-responsible community venture with significant fan representation at board level to prevent the calamity of 1998-2007 ever happening again.
Everyone wins, don’t they?
