HAVING been a lifelong supporter of York City (25 years and still counting) I am outraged and completely disgusted at the behaviour of Douglas Craig.

However did he end up in such a position of power at Bootham Crescent?

He has behaved with arrogance, and utter contempt towards all fans and staff at Bootham Crescent, no wonder City have run into problems.

Instead of encouraging fans and new support he has alienated people surrounding the club with his dogmatic attitude.

Obviously, Barry Swallow has a lot to answer to - why, if he knew that the club was in so much financial strife, didn't he and the rest of the board have the common courtesy of giving all potential buyers at least from the closed season to raise a potential buyer?

By leaving it until January we have been let down.
