What did you mean by "develop further", more (bad) news to follow? Or the board changing? Or something else?
  I don't know the details. Nobody does yet not even the board as they are struggling apparantly. We didn't get answers as they can't  answer them. It's a mess from what I can gather.

This is similar to what I heard and posted a number of weeks ago.  I wonder how long it will be before everything comes out in the open? Pressure must be mounting if they really are in the shit?  Worrying times.

This lot have always given the impression of doing the deal only because there was a deal to be done. It's always smelled like there was no money and no plan, just straightforward opportunism to do a deal that gave them a club with a repaired balance sheet and more or less no money down.

I've seen nothing - let alone the lame answers to the fan's questions (which weren't exactly Paxman-level) - to suggest that this isn't the case.

Devera could do a lot better. I really rate Devera and its a shame we couldn't have kept him.

The are advantages of administration in our current scenario. Somebody with more than a GNVQ in bullshit inside the building would go some way to help, surely.

As we've been in administration before and are aware of the FL's view that a penalty for entering it again would be worse than a 10 point deduction,  I fail to see any advantage. The current lot appear to be out of their depth, but they have at least bought us some time. How much time and whether it's enough remains to be seen.

Where has all the talk of admin come from? Surely if things were that bad we would have reduced the wage bill even further and put the whole squad up for sale?

Effectively the whole squad is up for sale...insofar as to pay wages over the summer, will need an injection of cash. The problem is there is likely to be little activity before pre-season.

Really? He struggled in League 1 this year at times, that really surprises me.
