If nothing else, this clearly shows that the club and ownership's approach as been wrong. We've been told for 7 years that they're trying to go softly softly, not disrupt things too much, not take things head on, and the result is a 2 year ban.
They tried, but they failed. Tonight has done completely devastating and irretrievable PR damage and the only way to correct it is to change the approach completely and not just wriggle free of this ban, but go beyond that and do some serious retaliatory damager.
It's long past time to take the proverbial gloves off.
