Come on let's all be brutally honest here according to a Mr Simper on Facebook the investment ship will be scuppered before it hits the water! And the reason it will be scuppered is because of the blooming trust people and their pesky forum! Bloody crooks the lot of them,from directors down they should all be clapped in chains,paraded through the town in their pants,and then tarred and feathered on the market place? I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for that darned trust! :laughcry: :laughcry: :laughcry:

Being a bit unfair on AL from day one all he has been allowed to sign is young loan players. His hands are tied until the Chairman can offload Barrett and Crowther not a good state for a club trying to avoid relegation. Having seen the post match interview wouldnt be sruprised if he walked.

Why on earth would he walk? On a nice little earner I would think? :dontknow:

My thoughts exactly Nigel talk about kicking a man when he’s down,what gets me not one has come up with an idea to help the club in its dire need

Not really kicking a man when he is down,more making him realise the damage he has done by alienating people! It seems as if he is still making divisions amongst the fans? :dontknow:

So with today’s game being the last one of  the month,where SC said the wages are covered, has SC managed to find any ‘investment’ to support January’s wages ?  Think it would be good if the owner could  make a statement about the how things stand now, going forward.

He made money today. :scarf: :scarf:

So, please correct me if I'm wrong, but this leaves the Club with no staff.

Unless the Chairman has replaced the dismissed staff with volunteers, how does the club now operate on both a day by day basis, and in particular on matchdays?


Apparently the head of health and safety Jamies girlfriend has been appointed to run everything,but I stand to be corrected? :dontknow:

Playing at a level the club can afford does not automatically mean Setch, or just local players.

If the supporters want a higher level of football, it needs to be paid for. That means enough people wanting to watch what is on offer, and lots of successful commercial activities (which supporters also need to be on board for).

If enough money is generated, then a club can play higher. If the supporters don't generate enough via the gate or with commercial activities, then they don't go higher.

The majority of people don't expect others to pay for their household expenses, so why do they expect others to subsidies their Saturday afternoons entertainment?   :dontknow:

Its not about being a big fish in a small pond, or a low level of ambition as some would suggest. Its better described as financial common sense and not expecting other people to pick up the tab for a higher level of football than the club can afford to operate at.


You mean good business management? :dontknow:

:sinking: Yes it’s alright calling for Setch however we have had our eyes opened to football played properly and if S was such a good manager why is he plying his methods leagues below us? How many would turn up to watch punting the ball forward and seeing it return the next.

I didn't call for Setch,was just saying he done at good job with local lads,he provided the springboard for the leap upwards? :dontknow: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

Never believe the official gate, it's been bull **** for years. Why can't they be honest for a change!

Not a lot of benefit for anyone in giving false figures for league games.

Forgive me if I am wrong but is there not a clause in the lease where the  council can increase the rent if the   club earnings are over x amount?  :dontknow:

So far I’ E only read the first post on this thread.  It filled me with dread (exaggeration, as only a game!).  I feel that the idea of a local manager with a local squad would be the lowest point we have ever reached.  Now to read the rest!

Local manager with a local squad didn't do too badly under Setch? :dontknow: :scarf:

Any idea how many were there today?  :dontknow:

Trying to say 867? After all the years I have been going I would have put it nearer the 1500 mark?

His biggest mistake was alienating the fans instead of embracing them!
