No one is 'going to war with the owners'.  We've even repeatedly stated that his message may well be valid but his words are inflammatory and create an unnessecary conflict as can be witnessed by everyone on here apart from three people.  We've talked to owners all week and we've even emailed with Gareth so there is no 'war'.  We've calmed down some people that wanted to go on the attack.

Interesting that Dura is on stuff saying he can't stand by Gareth's views anymore.  There is a strong story that the rest of the owners have suggested he might like to avoid microphones, so we're not alone in this.  As I said earlier people involved in this have thanked us for not starting a war even though they believe we'd be entirely justified.

Our public reaction is a fraction of what would go down at almost any other football club in the world if an owner (an owner who admits he knew nothing about football 18 months ago) made those statements. 

We have quite clearly reflected (albeit moderated) the vast majority of views from Phoenix supporters and the Fever.  That is what we should do.
