At a very good price by the sounds of it and we don't 100% know who picked up the bill, do we?
The scoreboard shouldn't cop for the flak as it.needed replacing and they'd never have got one on as good as a deal as they apparently did. A worthy investment that'll pay for itself in terms of advertising.
Yes, that doesn't help the current squad however there's nothing to suggest the money spent would have been in the playimg budget anyway.
It's an easy target but not necessarily at fault.
(I know I've talked about the scoreboard like its a person )
