If it was all about a financial return, the key way to do this is by increasing the value of the club, by getting promotions up the leagues.
For example, Ipswich Town were sold for 40m in 2021 then sold 40% in march this year for 105m, the difference is they were in the championship, nearing the Prem
Yes, to do what Ipswich have done takes money, which is clearly not in abundance at SN1. What money is coming in isn’t being invested to get us anywhere neat L1. Never mind the championship and back into the PL. NL yep, u less Holloway can turn it round. Then we start with a new squad again next season on a shoestring budget. Rinse and repeat. |

Much like Bradford City. I was interested to see how many fans they had turn up at the weekend for their FA cup game at home to Aldershot 4,737 with just 4,299 Bradford fans, we had 4,855 with 4,523 being Town fans. It does show how their season ticket pricing is skewing their league attendances which if their cup game was anything to go by would put them (and us) much nearer Newport or Colchesters league averages. |

Does our board have a business plan/model? To push up the leagues would potentially take investment. Stay as we are and uncover/sell a gem every now and then? Stagnation is not for me. The board needs to do something or sell up.

In answer to your first question I suspect the answer is a resounding nope. I think we are generally stuck between a rock and a hard place, Morfuni probably wants to sell, but will only do so if he gets his cash and probably a nice sweetener back and no one in their right mind is likley to pay what he wants/expects for a failing club with minimal real assets. |

They don't need one when the clubs serving its purpose while we're all stuck in purgatory. |

It most definitely has Clem's DNA all over it. I wonder if LL's DNA, agrees that the club DNA matches your description of said DNA or if his DNA think the club DNA is opposed to your description of the Town DNA. I wonder if anyone at the clabb signed an NDA regarding the DNA of the great structure of STFC?  |

I wonder if the advisory board could please ask about the involvement of Jason Ranford and why he is constantly in hospitality and around other shady characters...
