He is in the boards pocket as shown by being in directors box during protest (a sop move to pacify supporters) and now part of the new kit photographs.
I truly hope he does not let his reputation suffer for a few quid.
You cannot tarnish his reputation, his deeds are too great and ive no doubt at all he would only ever do that which he feels is best for the club so im with him no matter what.
He risked it by backing Sullivan's coin claim after the Burnley game but fans know the real story, a bit of a 'puppet' at times but when the dollar is out, majority of them will sing.
But it have to be something of major extreme to tarnish his reputation and if it did, it wouldn't be as a player etc, fans know.
Bit of a puppet? Or maybe his own man neither swayed by the board or the supporters? You decide. Maybe , unlike us he can compartmentalise whats good for the club and feelings towards the board. He might say things others dont like, but you can trust his word.
