- Salt Path
Thank you for a professional and very well researched piece of work and for confirming a very long held suspicion after reading this ‘novel’ which until you read the follow up ‘novels’ does not immediately arouse doubt. But, as with any greedy, self interested person, the temptation to keep on doing it proved way too easy for Mrs ‘Walker/Winn’ and her husband! Shame on them. I save all my hope and respect for people like John and the many others with this terrible disease.

Brilliant reporting as in always! The episode ends with the question: why didn’t Sir Alex say anything critical against the Glazers overleveraging the club? It is public information that after his retirement until last year sir Alex was paid £2mil per year as a “Man U ambassador.”
