Not sure what Barnes has got to do with it ???
The point I was making is that criticising the club does it no harm - it won't stop people coming to watch matches, buy its merchandise nor diminish support for the team. I would agree that DK's actions may niggle the current directors but they...
I'd go with DK's judgement as to whether or not more books can be sold and what are the best ways to promote its sale, considering his background.
He's not 'chipping' away at the club unless you consider the individuals who have made the decision regarding stocking his book to be the club.
Why sad? - DK is an advertising man - why wouldn't/shouldn't he use everything at his disposal to promote his book - if the current board don't like it they can easily defuse this particular situation.
Nothing DK says can harm the club and I'm sure he wouldn't want it to - his actions won't...
Of course if DK wasn't a publicist and a clever 'user', (possibly manipulator?), of the media then firstly he wouldn't have had the financial means to step in when he did nor have had the ability to carry out much of the work he did in saving the club.
It seems a bit disingenuous to now...
Unfortunately for many it all boils down to money - TB put x million more into the club than DK did etc etc
The years and years of hard work put in by DK, and others, often seems to be forgotten or minimised in its importance.
I really cannot understand the clubs reluctance to stock a book...
