"this is real problem that will potentially have massive implications on the football club"
The issue there is the term "potentially". I don't actually see the link between "a couple of Terry's businesses fold" and "imminent death of the Nix predicted", now that the IRD is no longer after Century City Football. Your rather nasty generalisation suggests that the only options are gloom-mongering and denial. I take, on the contrary, a position of consistent skepticism - I don't believe anything until confronted with evidence. This is in preference to people who always believe the worst because it makes them feel more secure, at the price of being miserable and miserable to deal with.
In any case - if we did "listen to what the people like JD are saying", what would the practical upshot of that be, considering that there's nothing we could do anyway? In contrast, Stripes' analysis seems both realistic and sensible.
