Probably needs a bit of cash to stabilize us for a year or two as well
I'd imagine the club is spending so little and down to such bare bones that once you get rid of those milking the gravy train, new buyers might be surprised. |

You’d hope if an honest new owner with some integrity would come in, get rid of any debt we have (not just rolled over into the club owing the new owner), get shot of all and every hanger on then do a forensic audit to see if the club is or isn’t sustainable if the ‘extras’ are retained within the club instead of lining said hangers on pockets.
The club on its own can’t be worth that much - Clem has already told everybody the club is not sustainable. Whether he’d just want to offload that without the CG I’d imagine would put off potential buyers.
Not too much to ask for the New Year!

Where as the cynic in me thinks any new owner will just transfer the debt to themselves.
As far as I can tell - it’s the only way anyone is likely to get any return on investment.
In fact - it’s the only way to really make money out of lower league football clubs. Cover the debt as a business loan to yourself + interest.

So we needed 5-6 players, we've lost 3 (Mahoney, Kemp and Young). We now need 8-9 players. Sums up the club that no business has been done yet, a competent club would have prepped for Kemp and Young departures and had at least 2 in by now. We won't sign anyone this week, maybe 1 next week and we'll still be 4-5 players short by Feb

It doesn't surprise me that they've not announced anyone yet (the majority haven't) but completely agree that a depth chart for replacing first team players that we have no control over like Mahoney, Kemp and Young should be absolutely essential (...and I hope they have) every single season.

When is Kokolo contracted too?
I'm not sure we have enough players to field a team on Saturday if we don't sign anyone by then

I thought it was the 16th. Or maybe I have that date because of our league position. I'll have to try and find Flynn's post match - did he mention it there?

His first game was the 11th November, so thought it may be after this Saturday.
I did wonder if he was the 1 that Flynn said was imminent

Maybe Devine is coming back! And Clayton. And RHM. And FBT🙂 |

I'm sure it was Sat that Flynn said Kokolo had another couple of weeks, you wonder if he is thinking of not keeping him due to the amount of left sided players we have - although he is an upgrade on what we have in that position. Possibly depends on budget as well, I'm surprised Flynn is still talking about getting a keeper in rather than giving Ward the rest of the season |

He said it was a position that was being looked at, but they wouldn’t bring anyone in unless they were better than Ward. |

Flynn reckons RHM and Clayton are returning. Although after being out for so long they can hardly start.
What did Brewitt do to get injured

I spoke with both of them in the Junior Robins room prior to the Forest Green match and they both said they'd be available for Colchester, so fingers crossed this is still the case. |

RHM told people in the JR room before Aldershot that he'd be available for Colchester. In fairness, perhaps he meant the second game and not the one that was, at that time, days away  |
