You need to look at it from Lee's perspective. He's effectively paid Chris's wage for a period of time through his sponsorship. Money that he could have kept in his pocket.
He's also doing the board job for free I believe.
I mean, you cant have a go at the guys intent or effort. At least send messages with a bit of respect of that.
He may not be doing the chairman's position for dollars up front but you can't honestly believe he is getting nothing out of it,he would not need the dollars but no doubt in my mind he needs the feeling of power which feeds his ego
