If you’re referring to the podcast he did then I don’t think he has climbed down as such, he still saying they are totally wrong for the club and went as far as to suggest administration would be a better option and he still maintains that he doesn’t think they will get approval . Where he softened his stance is that he is now saying that it’s rumbled on far too long and is damaging the club further so needs resolving one way or the other soon, even if it does mean 777 getting the go ahead
Apart from the going into administration part, which I think would be a disaster, I pretty much agree with him
