Wouldn't begrudge anyone wanting to start a splinter club, I empathize with the sentiment. But the way I see it, the club is under the curse of one man and he won't be here forever. Impossible to say for how much longer, but we will be rid of him eventually.
Ashley could be here for 15 more years though and I'd like to engage in a club in the meantime. As I see it, a splinter club does not mean you abandon NUFC forever.
