Before I watch this, I am going to say this preseason is a major concern. It seems that the owners and management team have no idea how to take this club forward. Recruitment this season is just like last season. They do not have a clue. We need answers and some reassurance about what the plans this season are.

Recruitment this season is just like last season. They do not have a clue. We need answers and some reassurance about what the plans this season are. I thought it was common knowledge that the owners have admitted they cannot afford to “take the club forward”. This is why they seek investment or buyers. Like it or not but this is our lot until anything happens. We may sneak up in a good year but itll be an unenjouable slog in the NL more than likely. It’s hard tk accept when you see Ebbsfleet (over) investing and The Gills seemingly on the up, but the sooner you accept it the more enjoyable it all becomes

So even if the owners didnt want to spend their own money anymore, the club should be in a better position than most in this coming season. It's just right now it seems like pandemonium!

To be fair all seems calm at the club. The fans - well about 15 - seem to be a bit worried.

Has anybody actually stopped and considered that the constant criticism of the hierarchy, by some, is the reason they no longer wish to fund the club

If they can't take a small amount of criticism , then buying a football club is insane.

They're looking to get rid of overhead and cash in obviously and with a lot more than what they got offered by Manchett.

The owners have a heck of a lot more invested in the club and its success than we do, and all they can hear on match day is the cries of fans to get out. I am 100% sure that’s why we don’t see them in the Genco stand any more, and that’s a great shame. Oliver and Terry are big parts of our club, and I would be proud to stand with them. Is it their fault that we are not vastly successful? In the same way that not having made enough money to leave my children enough to retire on, is my fault. It is far easier to find someone to blame for what we don’t like, than to accept where and who we are and make the best of it. But the easy way, in this case, is destructive of something we should all care about. I vote for resilience, stoic support of the club and its mainstays, and a return to enjoyment of the good moments for what they are.

I'd like to hope they don't give a flying doodah what the minority chant and probably don't, but they're only human so must feel something about it, "dick strokers" probably being one. Anyway, got my season ticket through the post, I'm happy! 😊

There’s never been the slightest hint that the owners want to cash in, in fact quite the opposite. It’s highly unlikely if they do sell that they’ll get anywhere near their money back.

The Plow post must rank among the most stupid ever ! No need for personal insults. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That’s what the forum is supposed to be for.
