Comment from the Caretaker over at ticats.ca:


I can personally assure all the Ticat faithful that not only is Scott MItchell not a "bad guy" but he is the very definition of a good guy. He is astoundingly and consistently honest, intelligent and forthright.

He has been single-handedly responsible for the Ticats improved performance on the field in recent seasons, and, assuming a new stadium eventually gets built in Hamilton, he will deserve much of the credit.

It is his honesty and forthrightness that have raised concerns but without honesty our society cannot function. When Scott is asked a direct question, he gives a direct answer, whether or not that is the answer his questioner wants to hear. To simply say that the Tiger-Cats cannot pay their bills in Hamilton playing in a falling down, 1950's era stadium, with wooden benches, limited parking, ancient bathrooms, an awful (by modern standards) night-time atmosphere, and other limitations is not a "threat" - it is simply stating the obvious.

The Ticats have been on the verge of bankruptcy for the last 40 years and went bankrupt in 2003.

Thanks to the voters of Hamilton, the Mayor and City Council, and the Province and the Feds, all that may be behind us soon - and if it is, Scott will deserve a large share of the credit, despite the Spec's and others attempts to criticize him.

Cheers, Bob.
