Great post & nails our current situation.
I feel we will be walking a tightrope over the next two years as regards Nigel walking,,or just as likely falling victim to the blinkerdness of those holding the reigns -;whom may react to fan reaction of those without the vision,,patience or desire to face the facts of the mess we are in - or fall victim to their self inflicted frustrations.
As you say either result would be disastrous.
