Conspiracy Theory

Lost the dressing room.

I don’t agree with this. Even at their worst they don’t look like a side who don’t give a toss. It’s a team selection, tactical and onfield decision-making problem. Too much cut and not enough thrust, as they say.

[Rene Artois]

Difficult to identify if a player is giving 90% or 100%

Ten outfield players only giving 90% and you’re a man down.

Agree with the rest though.

[CMC]

Might be other factors behind the scenes as mentioned by a few posters.

[Rene Artois]

Pity they can’t reveal more.

Maybe Michelle and co have lost Jimmy, maybe they haven’t entered contract negotiations with him.

Hopefully…

[KEEP BELIEVING]

Just a thought. In terms of crowd attendances does it matter if we go up or not ?

[Awaywego]

Well I think that season ticket sales will increase by at least a thousand no matter what,don’t think we’ll know the full squad by then to make a better call on it,then it’s down to performances on the pitch whichever league were in , just the same as normal really.

Will it be easier to become sustainable in NLN. The fact is it will be a lot cheaper than the National league. I hope I’m wrong but can’t see us getting out of this awful league anytime soon.

[cassidystash]

Surely sponsorship of a NL team will cost more than NLN and, if what we read is correct, the players are already on NL (and above) wages.

What are posters hinting could be wrong behind the scenes ?

Is promotion important ? In light of near extinction stability is first priority and the bigger gates will be helping deal with the debts left by the deserting owner that was. But then up a league and we would receive a bigger cash input from the higher league and larger away followings.

But then at the end of this season many players will have a shock in what is on the table financially should they be offered a new contract. Suspect there will be a bigger clearout than promotion would normally yield. Then of course recruitment will be based on a new budget although as some say season ticket sales will increase hopefully giving the club a boost.

The issue is not just dropping points it is the attitude supporters see when it happens. Give everything and the supporters will be proud of their team, look less than interested then gates will drop.

The Cost cutting has started, two members of the back room staff have gone(Confirmed), players told they’re up for sale?

[Awaywego]

Perhaps if they brought someone clever enough in to boost our finances, the guy we brought back in isn’t, making the community game the Chester game, ya know one of the few games that a bigger than normal crowd was expected due to the away following, reducing seat prices for most by £3, season tickets bring a friend for a tenner, free service personnel and whatever,
Surely Curzon or Banbury should have been the games to go for this guy is costing the club thousands I was told he’d make us thousands.

[Ironawe]

My view is that it is vitally important for our long term survival (that we go up). The goodwill will soon dissipate when we slide further into anonymity. We’ll have a core of supporters but we’re not a mad passionate local football supporting town. We’re massively out of the spotlight, BBC updates, Sky Ticker, general coverage. Long term it means less attraction for players and fans alike. We’ve watched some great football in the past but a long term stay in this division is not something I would look forward to, the quality is just too shit. Don’t mind consolidating in NL for a bit but NLN is just shit, the refs, the away fan(s) the grounds. It’s quirky for the first season but going to these places for the next 2-5 years – we’ll be down to 1,500 in no time and then we’ll be part time just hanging around these leagues with fat immobile centre forwards who ‘put it about a bit’. I watched last night and thought it was so slow laboured and not very enjoyable, how we’ve fallen so far so quickly, and this squad are supposed to be full time professionals

Of course the cost cutting has started, what did you expect ? Chronic over spending due to poor leadership is what has put us where we are and it has to be reversed.

The comment re players up for sale, you look around from the premier league any player has a price – Ivan Toney is for sale.

You’re of that age what was that song by the Who? “Won’t be fooled again”?

[Deereyme66]

Not sure CMC was suggesting it wouldn’t / shouldn’t have started SF? If I was a player up for sale I’d be doing my best to put myself in the shop window. Doesn’t make sense for that to be a reason for performance drop. Though I’m not saying it’s not. Who knows? A lot more complex than that I’m sure.

We’ve expected it for months tbh, if you’ve uprooted yourself from say the South of England say to your contract we can’t afford it anymore you’re going to be a bit peed off.

More good work by this new board,Simon apart,he’s a big fan it seems likee you and he were of Hilton

Regarding the staff who have moved on.

One of our first team Physio’s has taken up a role within the NHS and we’ve replaced him with our old Physio from 2013, who’s agreed to come to the club as match day Physio until the end of season. Now we only have 1 full time physio.

The other member of staff Boden who was first team football analyst has moved to Carlisle United and we haven’t replaced him. I doubt we ever will now he’s gone.

Do you really need one at this level ?

[Awaywego]

Just read todays programme and the Community game against Chester is all about breaking the league record attendance good luck with that, I do hope Glynn has put his head on the line persuading Michelle to go for that costing her and the club money indeed, egg on someone’s face unless Chester fill the away end.

[Deereyme66]

Have you offered your services as a consultant yet? Bucks was keen on that once – PR guru to Swann.

[cassidystash]

I miss Bucks. Has he ditched us because we’ve sunk this low?

I don’t think the club needs another non playing staff member adding to wage bill Deerey, but thanks for the thought you know damn well I’d make a better fist of it than the incumbent, The club have run plenty of community days and half filled it with kids in the away end against a team who’s not going to bring many fans if it ain’t
broke don’t try to fix it, no need for us to try and play the big time Charlie and go for the record attendance and then end up looking silly.
The record attendance is attainable but that will come from results on the pitch and not people walking away from grounds being disappointed most week’s.

Spot on post that AWG .. especially the last sentence.
Play attractive entertaining football score goals and the buzz will return naturally .. nobody even the loyalist fans want to go hope feeling depressed and ripped off by what they have just experienced leading many to find an alternative way to use their time and money.

[Deereyme66]

‘you know damn well I’d make a better fist of it than the incumbent’.

Lol, I reckon Glynn knows what he’s doing.

[Awaywego]

Based on what Deerey please do tell, go on just one good call he’s made since he’s arrived back.

[Deereyme66]

I don’t manage him. It was more a point about you thinking you could do a better job. I’m thinking Harrogate away.
