I concur. Just got back from the year 2076. We’ve just lost 1-3 at home to Royal Wootton Bassett in our local non league derby. Meanwhile the club have released ambitious plans to put a roof on Stratton Bank. The ongoing feud with Puma finally ends when they agree to repair the sign above the club shop. Don Rogers Statue cuts a sorry state as it’s half submerged in the lake outside the club shop. A depressing end of season game but current owner Jason Ranford claimed in his program notes they have learnt a lesson and the club will do business a lot earlier in the transfer window. The Trust are busy raising funds to repair leaking pipes in all the toilets in The Clemente Morfuni Stand, formerly known as The Arkells Stand.
Good to see something has progressed.

As a big Caddis fan, I keep an eye on Hereford. Have a look at their Twitter feed to see how they are driving revenue and engagement in the off season and then contrast it with what Tumbleweed FC are currently doing. It is night and day. https://twitter.com/HerefordFCEven got a decent season ticket video:
This stuff is not hard and costs peanuts.

Hereford is a club that has been through really tough times (not unconnected with the infamous Jed), but who have, as one, come together in determination to win back what was lost. They are not spending huge sums, though I'm sure Paul C doesn’t come for free); rather they have invested wisely in the right people for what they need to achieve. They will get back where they belong - at least National League, if not League 2. We have lots of links with them....we should look and learn.

The time is not right for Caddis for the club or the man himself.
We need a more experienced manager IMO and he needs to get some more experience as a manager.
I would not rule him out in the future though if he progresses.

25 negative comments out of 28. The other three aren't positive comments, they're just betting spambots. I know social media is often loud but they really can't be flying off the shelves.

Playing devils advocate here, perhaps a management announcement is imminent or is that naive of me?

If it wasn't for the logistics of our lot moving back to the DRS (thank fook) I wouldn't renew until the last minute either.

Wycombe acquired by a Kazakh billionaire last week. Dagenham and Redbridge acquired by a NY based multi club ownership. Burton subject to interest from the same Scandinavian consortium who were exploring Shrewsbury.
The market seems to show no signs of slowing down

It shows there is interest in FL clubs - whether they are the good guys who knows, all that can be done is the correct due diligence (look at Reading) - but it shows there is interest and surely we must be seen as somewhat of an attractive club with our location, history and debt levels, but Clem seemingly does not want to sell

It could well be that he does want to sell but needs a certain value/price to cover his investment to date. He's clearly got liquidity issues across his group of companies and is being pursued by creditors so probably needs to get as much out as he can.

Well, even if he can't receive his ideal valuation now, even he should realise that it will be worth far less next season with a lower customer base, and potentially a loss of a EFL place. He needs to cut his losses and run and do the right thing by selling to somebody credible (ideally not anybody with a criminal past - it's a low threshold). If he does that, we might all be capable of some revisionism and might thank him for it.

Some one with a criminal past wouldn't pass the fit and proper test?

I think we've been around this block. It's a good thing the test does not apply to "matchday guests" and "fitness consultants".
