It's a ridiculous business decision because of the reasons we are both aware of. Which is essentially people overreacting to a business decision.
I understand all to well what the problems are, I've tried to argue for a call of reason. And it may well fall on deaf ears. But it's better to have at least 1 sensible counter post to the alternative, bitter, irrational hatred, where people can't even be honest enough to say what the real reasons for opposition are. I have watched as people have defended the behaviour of using personal insults in the banners, many on here said the people who did it were right to it and it was perfectly acceptable.
The problem is, our fan base will be negative to almost every single appointment, so by your reckoning, any decision we make will be a ridiculous business decision, obviously with differing extents. If they are down to choosing between several bad options, I hope at least they pick the bad decision that is best for the club.
