Spartan 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Delia & Michael have assembled a totally underwhelming array of directors and at the same time assured their relationship with Archant continues to be very cosy. These two really are very clever. In a few short weeks they have brushed four years of failure and mismanagement under the carpet, convinced some very fickle and easily pleased fans that things are suddenly going to be much much better, and spent peanuts on a motley crew of ''new'' players. Are we heading for the promised land? No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also unless im mistaken we haven''t finished rebuilding the squad or have we? Did you want us to try and land Jermaine Beckford or Simon Cox because if you did we simply don''t have that money or the attraction this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Just what has happened, people to come on who will help stabilise the club, put football back on the agenda and not restaurants and hotels. I think some people are deluded into believing there is a massive queue of multi millionaires waiting to invest in our club, wakey wakey people, we are 3rd division now, not prem.And who is to say exactly how much these people come to the club with, do you know? In an ideal world we would have a sugar daddy take over the club and get rid of DS & MWJ, but the reality of it is, in this current financial climate that ain''t gonna happen.

paul ncfc 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Personally I think this is just about as well as we could do, there seems to be a realisation from the previous board that things were wrong and hopefully Bowkett and others will be allowed to sort it out.Surely someone with Bowkett''s networking for you is a step in the right direction.p.s. Glove1, sorry if my question to WAY seemed negative to you, but I was just interested to see if this fitted in with what she had heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauseant 0 Posted July 2, 2009 I think that the whole "what are they bringing in the way of investment?" line is a bit of a red herring. Yes, it would be great if they could introduce some cash, but what is more important is the business acumen that they can bring to the table, which may itself be central to bringing investment in. I know very little about Phillips, but Bowkett and McNally are both known to be tough cookies. The bottom line is whether they are better than what they replaced, which in my view they are, and by some distance. I''m not going to go overboard about them yet, because they have much to prove, but nor will I damn them out of hand simply because that seems to have become the default setting on this forum of late Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that better be the case otherwise we are up the creek without a paddle.If that is the case then they had better find this new investment in the next 6 months or less, because we currently do not have enough money in the club to attempt getting out of this league in the right direction any time soon. The longer we go without finding fresh investment (and major investment at that) and the longer we stay outside the top two tiers the more likely we are of becoming the next big club to go in to administration.When that happens all of you clowns who have kept backing this boards decisions will have no other team to point the finger at and say "thank god we are not fans of that team" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
