At the risk of continuing a circular debate and having a ramble…Dodds is an outsider and not an outwardly inspirational figure like GA or one of our own like Blooms, who some of us feel was ill-treated, or at least not given the space and respect he deserved. In that respect, Dodds has a tough gig, despite the lofty position he’s inherited. I’m not personally one for reading into his tics and mannerisms, I’ll enjoy the end of season ride, probably laugh, cheer, moan along the way, but judge properly when all is said and done.
To make a wider point, I love the fact that we hold our custodians to account. Even though as individuals we’re relatively powerless and shoot into the Gasroom breeze, we’ve also shown that as a collective we’re prepared to stand up for what we value (eg The People’ vs Bookerdome), and for the legacy of our predecessors such as Frank Adams. There aren’t many fanbases left that do this, especially when minted owners come along. Yes, that can give a perception as being enemies of progress, and the flip side is that ‘progress’ in the modern sense isn’t always received with blind faith and optimism. Authority is questioned first until answers are given or shown through action. I wouldn’t want us to lose that spirit or sacrifice it for fleeting success.
Ignore instruction to open app. Just tap Piers Morgan’s ugly mug with as much force as you can muster. A brilliantly eloquent comedian putting him straight about the buffoon Trump appointed as Health Secretary.

What a brilliantly eloquent post.
Professional writer?
Thank you, @micra. To your question, something along those lines!
If not, should be.
Can something be brilliantly eloquent @micra ? Isn’t eloquent an absolute adjective?
Feel free to correct punctuation and / or spelling as you see fit😉
