Why should the owners do that? Most of the clubs at this level won’t get promoted. Why should our owners up sticks if we don’t? If they dont or can,t invest any more money which we can all see is clearly needed then for the benefit of the club it might be better if they stepped aside an let others take over financing the club. Not sure there's a particularly big queue of people wanting to do that...

Not sure there's a particularly big queue of people wanting to do that... I dont suppose there is but the point I was trying to make is that for the benefit of the club they cannot continue as they are, whilst we are all eternally grateful for bringing the club back to the town it will all be pointless if things do not change. Maybe if they were to let it be known publically they would walk away from the club it may encourage investors to step forward with there wads of cash.

These posts are getting absolutely nuttier by the day. So the owners walk aeay from the £5m they have invested in the hope that there are people out there wanting to lob more millions imto the club. What a strange fantasy land. Just such rubbish posts.

What the hell are people talking about ? The club's owners have made MUFC what it is today. Pretty obvious that advice on this forum has come from posters without the financial acumen and skills to have made millions in business to invest in the club. How much are their suggestions for re-sorting the club worth ?

Really pathetic to be encouraging Olivrr and Terry to throw the towel in. Not speaking for me or any other supporter I know !

We’ve won more at home, so less weekends at home ruined. Can drink watching the game, and away days are closer to that’s better. However I don’t feel the club is anywhere near where it should be in our rebuilding phase. Still IMO a team filled with journeymen who think they are better than they are. No real tactics or style of play and squad discipline is poor; wether that’s conceding in latter periods of the game not grinding things out or arriving on time. I think if we don’t address these issues and get some more team players in, some will become disenfranchised and think why bother going if there isn’t really much will to genuinely get promoted. There is still a huge void between fans and the bulk of the squad which for me goes back to as something as simple as having a beer with fans in the spitfire after. Big George has done well however to wrestle some of the connection back. It was that which JS1 instilled which really made fans connect more with the club as silly as it sounds. The next few weeks, and how they deal with the abject performances and bad eggs in the squad will define really how invested the club are in turning things around with the aim of scrapping for promotion even though none of us realistically can’t put us in the same bracket as the teams that are above us The morale and heart of the team and the club does seem to have nose dived as has the connection with fans. Not surprisingly performances on the pitch and the commitment of the players has as well. What’s happened? It’s not just because three players who share a car were late for one meeting that’s a smoke screen. Come on John and Hak, what’s going on?

This season has certainly been a wake up call for many fans, did not expect the club to be struggling against the bulk of the teams in the NLS. We should have the playing ability to put aside the likes of Dorking Hemel Hempsted an many others yet we often do struggle, maybe the owners need to look at themselves during the close season an decide they either put up more money or say goodbye an open the door for someone else to take over, as it,s clearly harming the moral of the club continuing like we are. Jb you usually sway in the sensible side if things but this post is just one of them stupid premier league whinging. If the owners go who is going to replace them, we, to my knowledge have had no investors come forward, who are Terry and Oliver going to sell the club to? If Terry and Oliver put more money in what does it do to their personal finances would it put them at financial risk and then require the loans to them by the club are paid back quicker which in turn puts the club in financial crisis. I never understand any football fan demanding the owners leave, well if they do leave where is the money going to come from it would bankrupt the team complete dumb arse response from fans imo. If on the other hand there was a consortium trying to buy the team the i can understand fans supporting the sale if the team to a consortium but again to my knowledge we do nit have that. Yes i hate seeing piss poor performances and yes things do not seem rosey and something needs to happen to rectify this but as i am not involved in the day to day running of the team i am unsure of what the change is that needs to happen, speaking to other fans they want the manager fine others want us to revert to part time but remember what happened last time we had a bunch of fans demanding thus and that everyone's favourite manager got cut and we haven't had a wheeler revolving door. The club Imo needs some stability needs to find an identity and needs to find some clear objections and targets for moving forward, our fanbase is split between people wanting to go back to the days of Kent league and others wanting promotion to national league and league football. At the moment i think we'd all agree for a team that shows up every week and gives it their all win lose or draw, i think that would start pulling everyone in one direction but at the moment we seem to be drifting through without any real direction.

There are clearly personnel issues that need to be dealt with by our two managers. Preferably privately. Anyone can be a hardman boss, shouting and yelling, expecting perfection. It's a hundred times harder to manage someone with issues and potential, and then bring the best out of them over a period of time. This season, I won't be judging John and Hakan by league position, but by how they mould this young, sometimes inexperienced, squad. Longer term, maybe we need a more local and experienced professional squad of players. Or the three tardy players could be encouraged to house share in town, rather than commuting 90 minutes.

The big problem now is backtracking. JS2 has gone on record to say that our 3 miscreants have played their last game for the club and are going to be shipped out,if he backtracks on that statement and any of them feature on Saturday both he and HH to a lesser extent,will lose the already diminishing respect the supporters have for them. This could also send a message to other players that they can do what they want and get away with it because the management haven't got the bottle to back up their threats. This is why IMO they have to go or JS2 and HH will lose the dressing room if they haven't already.

I agree with your sentiment. But just don't think we have the luxury of dumping several players mid-season. There is the nucleus of a good side there. Just needs to carefully developed and improved.

So we rightly weren’t judging the management team last season yet this season with their own players we are still not judging. Righto

Yes it has got better. Just a couple of weeks ago we beat Havant and everyone was singing the players’ praises. Now we play badly and people are on the managers’ backs.
Have you forgotten just how poor we were last year, on and off the pitch? It took me back to that awful Graham Carr period not long before we went bust.
This season was never going to set the world on fire but we are 8th, not 17th like Braintree who also came down! Granted there are issues right now with one or two of the players, but we will win again, there will be more glowing posts and I have no doubt at some point that the club will be capable of NL status. But that ain’t now. For now, at the risk of sounding like an old fart-be grateful that you actually have a club called Maidstone that you can go and watch each week, playing at a half decent level!
Inconsistency isn’t a crime, it’s life. The boy’s will bounce back.
