I generally have less optimism than some in here about the short term future of our club, but even I think a managerial change would be ludicrous, at least for a few months to really see how things pan out. The reality is, we could have Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm and it wouldn’t change too much because sadly he isn’t given the tools (or should I say a competitive budget) to work with. If you think the budget isn't competitive why don't you put your money into the club, typical premier league attitude to financing a football club. You do know we went out of business before and then nearly went again before terry and Oliver came in. You seen intent for the club to spend beyond their means and go for glory no matter the cost, so you have something to cheer about for a year or two but after that the long term of the club would be none existent as the club would fold or terry and Oliver would rack up debts and sell the team and ground for more new water front housing. Whilst I a agree with almost all you say I would just like to point out that your last sentence is wrong. The only reason we were ever given planning permission for the stadium in the first place is because the site is a designated flood plain and unsuitable for housing.

What, you mean like those houses on the other side of the river? 😊

I cannot believe there is already talk of a change of manager , we are 2 games into a new season and despite 2 defeats I have seen enough to think we will come good before xmas and surge up the table afterwards. Yes it mat take a whole season to see the best of this squad but surely it's how you finish not how you start and changing managers now I'd just wacko jacko . Let them do their job and all will be well. Pretty sure the person who started the thread is a windup merchant from the poor relations in Thanet. He must be well chuffed at how many people have taken the bait.

After all, Oliver Ash just said it and we have lost our first two games under Hak so it must be true

Hak is an idiot and JS2 just taking the money for nothing.

Go away. Please. I have been a member of this forum two more years longer than you, and I believe that the current management are not at the level for Maidstone, and I'm making that prediction. Not sure why that is so controversial. I also think that Steve McKimm would be a better manager than the current pair but if others don't agree because he has somehow done something to Maidstone then people should voice that, but if its just because he is Tonbridge manager that is a bit short sighted. Is Steve McKimm such a bad manager that its instantly a wind up to suggest he would be better, he has a similar record to Hakan with less budget.

Are fans really banging the “budget isn’t competitive” drum again.
It is. Oliver Ash said it is.

I think the gist of it was more about commenting on this particular thread. Which you and myself have both done again. Doh!!!!

How is it a windup to point out Steve McKimm is better than the current management structure? When you start calling for the management to be replaced I look forward to calling you a windup merchant, which considering your antics with NWS (legend) over the years you surely are!
