I've been to several meetings at which Peter Kenyon was the 'guest'. I've heard him speak and tried, as best I could, to 'hear' what he had to say. I've heard him say that he kept the 'faith'. I KNOW people who believed him. I DIDN'T - I've said so both on this List and to other people on many occasions.
The news has NOT surprised me one little bit. Kenyon is the ultimate symbol of that group of people who have 'discovered' Manchester United over the past ten years. He has NO 'faith', no f**king 'faith' WHATSOEVER. It was all 'lip service'. For all his faults, and I acknowledge that he had many, Martin Edwards DID have the 'faith'. Of that there is NO doubt in my mind. Edwards NEVER pretended to be what he wasn't and I've gone on record (several times over the years) saying that I preferred Edwards to Kenyon. It just saddens me that, in this respect at least, I've been proved right. So we have a new man. I know absolutely nothing about David Gill except that he wears nice suits. Plainly he is another 'hard' business man. Far (FAR) greater minds than mine will know whether he is a good business man or not. But I suspect that David Gill will not pretend to have been a Manchester United supporter since 1948 or 1958 or 1968. In some respects that will represent a move in the right direction for me. If Gill is as tough as I think he is (he looks it) then he might be the right man for the job. All we can do is hope. In closing I want to ask anybody on this List who has the ear of anybody in a position of influence at Old Trafford (which I do not have, have never had, and never will have) to beg them to ensure that when Sir Alex wants to revisit his contract as the Manager of OUR football club that he is given what he wants and that we do NOT have the debacle that we understand went on last time. If you do have that ear, and will do me that favour, then you have thanks from the bottom of my heart. Keep the faith, Kenyon said he DID you know - he DIDN'T, Pete For all your e-business needs - Gapnet http://www.gapnet.co.uk ------------------------ Yahoo!
