New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Is it true that if we get relegated we lose our academy status? - saw it mentioned on twitter.

If true, that would be a huge blow for the club.

According to current Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) rules, any club relegated from the EFL can maintain an academy for a maximum of two seasons outside the league.

I think the categories (1, 2, 3) is an EFL thing, so I guess sort of? I think there is a National League equivalent though.

Interesting. If we do go down, i doubt we’ll be back up within two seasons.

Nice positive start to the presser letting us know we are over budget

We will always swing from one disaster to another under this regime.The only way out of this division with this lot is down.

On TSTBL last night it was said that Clem will not sell even if we go down..

As a fan base we have nothing to lose by letting these clowns know how much we want them gone.

It’s a fine line between trying to keep things positive for the team on the pitch and giving it to the ownership,but the fans have to stick together,as I fear if we lose our EFL status we will not be back for a very long time.

There is no real governance in the VNL and things behind the scenes would get worse,especially with the dodgy characters in the background.

If we sit bye and do nothing,we deserve everything we get!

Agree, the whole situation is fucked. Protests are needed but honestly I'm not even sure how much good it'll do.

Clem has made really clear over the last 12 months that he has absolutely no intention of selling. I really don’t know what he’s getting out of it. It’s so depressing, my apathy is turning to anger and there seems to be a growing number like that as well

I think the absence of governance in the conference makes it positively attractive for the ownership. Genuinely. People need to look at who is involved and question the incentive they have to be here, and there is only one realistic answer.

The man couldn't lie straight in bed.
A total piece of work.

Last night was impulsive. There will be more opportunity to talk more in good time.

And yes, I have resigned from the Trust Board.

[Itainthalfhotmum]

How? 

He/they hide behind all the admin fees. He/they need to explain exactly what those fees are which are clearly stretching the budget, and until then the fan base will be sceptical and question all the shit they spout. Perhaps it is time to protest and big enough to gain media coverage.

[Bob1978]

I think the being over budget comment probably relates to not being able to move Uwakwe on
