Those quote aren't based purely on the letter and nothing else, obviously. I'm sure people are forming an overall opinion based on everything they've seen in the last year or so, not just the fact that he managed to write a letter :shrug:
You get what you pay for. I'm sure in the long run it will work out better for the club financially having Paul Barber running things with his experience, than someone on less money.

Personally I think the club is in great hands with him. He seems very open and transparent which helps when he makes unpopular decisions.
