Relegation to league 2 is the least of our worries if Power is here next season.
League 2 is about physicality, commitment and experience all which under this model we seriously lack.
Don't always agree with Reg but he is spot on- our very league status is at stake unless Power changes tack which I cannot see him doing

And don't be surprised if power remains, Williams stays as manager and shitloads of loans next season and crowds dipping under 4000

We've never had any assets have we. Your guess should you wish to make one would be no better than mine or anyone else's. |

Neither do a lot of other clubs have assets but they still attract new owners. I acknowledge there are bad owners out there as well as good.
Yes we do not own the ground but neither do other clubs and they are attracting interest (Oxford and Vale)
We have little playing assets except Vigs as because as soon as there is a whiff of money Power cashes in
One big asset we have is our catchment area- it's huge.
Rumour has it only 1000 season tickets sold as opposed to 4000 this time last year . Sad sad times of the ten long term fans around me in the DRS only 2 have renewed.
Let's hope Power is off in the summer because if he stays with the model our league status is at stake.
Events do tend to point to him selling up- maybe that's why Williams is still in post he is waiting for someone else to pay up his contract ....

My question to you would be if we got rid of power and went into administration, would that make you happy? Power is no saint, but without him we would have no club. He has cleared a lot of debt. End of the day, he is a business man. We have always been a selling club, that will never change. |

"without him we'd have no club" is simply the worst case scenario of lots of scenario.
nobody knows. it's a gamble.

It's certainly a gamble, but it seems a gamble some of our fans are willing to take. If we were mid table, none of these fans would be whinging. But we are in a poor position to a poor season of recruitment. I think Powers biggest flaw has not been sacking Williams, but there must be a reason why he hasn't.
Hating the manager, and hating the owner are two different things.

Not willing to change anything other than protect his pal is damning as far as I'm concerned. I know football fans are an odd bunch but sometimes we're right and this mess could and should have been avoided.
Cue back-to-back wins and survival.
Looking at L1 2017-18, we'd be fucked next season anyway.
