    With the benefit of hindsight comparing our owners to Trew and Hardy is setting the bar rather low, and I'm not sure paying the milk bill on time is a big positive. I don't think many want us to spend money that we don't have, but I would find it hard to accept that given our attendances at this level, we become second class in a bidding war for a new player.

    This week, it's been confirmed what we've probably all suspected - deep down - since the day Burchnall was appointed. The owners are, relatively speaking, skint.

    If they haven't got the football nous either, then - tragically - we are still yet to hit rock bottom and that is not going to be pretty.

    A HUUUUGE dollop of assumption there UTM! Good lord.

    IB will not have been a bargain basement acquisition for a start.

    In terms of how they run the club I'm much more in favour of this style (so far anyway, things can of course change over time) than the 'throw a few million borrowed or non-existent quid in and then walk away leaving the club on fire if it doesn't work' brigade.

    Reedtz IN for me.

    I think there is always a chance of being second class in a bidding war for a new player if against a club who are (potentially) recklessly overspending and officially "going for it" that season. Anyone else at this level we should definitely be financially very competitive.

    When we signed Enzio and Dennis I'm sure we made a few other teams in that league look second class and blew them out of the water with out offers for each.

    Oh and paying the 'milk bill on time' isn't a big positive i'd say it's a necessity of any owner

    Oh Alan

    Good grief! The aquisition of Cameron was certainly not cheap. I don't think that the owners are skint but its clear they are not people who throw money away either. Chucking a load of money at the academy is not the actions of someone who is 'skint' either. We were certainly getting worse under Ardley there can be no argument about that. I am still hoping we have turned a corner since he left. Time will tell. I can say hand on heart I would not swap our owners for Wrexhams. We've been through all of that before and in the long term it certainly did NOT benefit us. I am honestly wondering if your account has been hacked by Elite Pie!

    I thought you may have hooked someone with that, but nothing doing. Not a bad try though.

    Me too, and I couldn't contemplate swapping our owners for Wrexham's. How fickle some folks can be.

    The change of company name from Wrexham Limited to Reedtz Limited was completed on the day the Notts takeover was announced as complete. Perhaps I have put 2 and 2 together and made 5 but it seems reasonably logical?

    If you’re ever feeling to upbeat and need calming down a bit, a quick call to upthemaggies should rectify that. About as negative and miserable as you can get.

    Yes he certainly seems to have swung dramatically to the pessimistic side of late doesn't he? I don't remember him being so down on everything Notts until quite recently. Hope all's well.
