The removal of the stagnant regime and the injection of the new owners has been what’s caused the resurgence of form, not the fact that Sullivan left on a good note. He could have left on any note at all and I feel we’d have had the exact same breath of fresh air around the club.

I would also echo oldbluenose’s sentiments that any settlement taken from the club upon the old boards departure should be repaid – if it is in the region of the astronomical figures quoted – especially Brady’s. There’s no doubt they saved the club all those years ago, but they’ve been taking some glorious profits from the club for quite some time. They needn’t have taken any more.
