What did you do Paul?
Not me personally but we all collectively made the Diamandis regime untenable. We didn't succeed in forcing them to sell to our preferred bidders, in the shape of the Fans Consortium, but we did create such a hostile climate that the Wills family accepted (although apparently Diamandis never did) that it was time to sell up. Without that, Diamandis would have been allowed to continue as he was and we wouldn't now have a club to be bemused by

Cre8 can go fuck themselves, it's Hans of Switzerland for me every time
Was that the rather seedy looking "salon" on Vic Hill....I always had it down as providing the services not catered for by San Tropez.

I have a bit of a theory on this:
Months ago, when MacDonald walked out, an idiot of a "fan" posted a rant in a few of the comments sections after the story on the G&H and Adver sites that included a bit of hyperbole that said something like "Diamandis has returned to the club in the guise of Lee Power", I think only meaning to suggest that Power was the equivalent "shadowy power behind the throne" type.
Cue several other comments going apeshit about Power having anything to do with Diamond Mike. I thought people had worked out that it was a 2+2=5 thing and moved on, but maybe not.
