the last page of this thread has given me hope that at some point we may finally be pulling in the same direction.
Now I don't think they're going to asset strip us and run for the hills like some do, but I think the game plan is to take over the club, cut the budget to make is self sustainable but sell as much as possible to cover this so only little money is required out of their own pockets if any, then maybe sell. It would be realistic to think a debt free self sustainable club in either League One or League Two would go for maybe a million or two....but problem is where are we left then?
well, surely that situation would be positive? if someone were to come in and pay 2m for us in the scenario you mention then surely that would be a pretty serious statement of intent? you'd think that there'd be more money to follow?
i honestly think jed et al were let down at some point by somebody and have subsequently made some very hard but necessary decisions that were met with all sorts of vitriol by some sections of the fanbase and that now we're getting closer to where we need to be.
i see no danger of relegation this term, once we're settled i think we'll be more than good enough defensively and will soon start to score a few goals.
this season is, for me, all about consolidation and as far as i'm concerned next season will be a much better barometer of where we are as a club going forward. if some fans are too impatient for that then as far as i'm concerned they shouldn't be sport fans at all unless they want to live as man city fans in some sort of perpetual 2011/2012 season - if you want to support your local club then you have to accept that more often than not you will not be celebrating unless you happen to be a manchester or london native. sport is hard, if it wasn't it wouldn't exist, or would at most be utterly pointless.
