mrjanitor:

I don't know that Bob Young is in financial trouble, but I think this is what he is telling Hamiltonians:

I don’t need you. I don’t want you. I want to relocate to a location that’s easy for potential new fans with higher incomes to drive to. I don’t really care about history. I don’t really care about the heart and soul, do or die fans. They don’t have enough money to buy my tickets, pay my parking rates, pay to eat & drink at the stadium and then at my new restaurant and bar conveniently next to the stadium. We all know poverty rates in Hamilton are higher than average. You are too poor and too unsophisticated for me to care about you. Thanks to those fans that kept the team on life support at times, but I don’t need you anymore either. I only want the team for the ancillary profits I can make; the team itself is a money loser. And I took it away from you, and located in Aldershot, which was always the plan! Who gets the last laugh now?

I would like to be wrong about this viewpoint, but that's what it seems like to me at this point.
