Harrogate and Sutton with a higher wage budget than STFC.
Fantastic to see.

We can’t compete with giants like that unless everyone digs and and buys more season tickets and shirts guys. Come on, Clem is just one man. He’s doing his best. At least we’ve got a club.

Would a new owner actually want Flynn, even with all the shit going on he isn’t exactly excelling and was sacked from a fellow L2 club last season for similar. Guess it’s just to secure any pay off.
I think Flynn is continuity into new ownership whilst they work out how much debenture they owe various previous owners, various wives of notable people around the club or how much of a ground they own. Plus Flynn's playing along line quite nicely for the club, might as well get some reward |

Or if you do, expect a call from Rob and Clem.  |

Just saw a comment that swindon fans are expecting too much with instant success, need to steady the ship and slowly rebuild. Made me think that there may be a point to it, I wonder how it would have gone down though if Clem had said that’s the aim over the next few years. Would it have reduced season ticket sales? Probably. But in 3/4 years time we may have found ourselves to be in a better position than we are now…

I wouldn’t take all those budgets at face value, though. It’s really just a collection of wage data from this site. Can’t believe even Clem is only paying the scholars £50pw! https://salarysport.com/football/#sky-bet-league-two |

I know I for one would be absolutely fine with it, as long as the long term vision and how they get there is clearly explained and it's actions as well as words. Think the problem we've faced is that we've never had anyone like that. Clem briefly mentions things like Championship, but with no clear view on how to get there. They had some brief strategy of sort last season to try and replicate Brentford etc under Sandro and they chucked that project under the bus after barely 9 months due to the poor execution of that project. |

There are some things an owner can promise and deliver on, but success on the pitch - no matter the size of budget - can be guaranteed.
Should stick to those things he can control, everything else is in the lap of the gods.

If you look at our boardroom (such as it is...), club hierarchy and backroom staff I see zero evidence other than Jamie Russell that Clem is putting anything like the right foundations in place to run a successful football club. The CEO, aside from never having been a CEO before, has never worked at a football club before! We are not owned by serious people. We don't need to give Clem time, as on the current trajectory, all that time is likely to bring is an annual local derby against Cirencester Town.
The "give him time" brigade are the less zealous, non-evangelical wing of the Cult.
He's been at the club since 2018...
