Nar the possibility or should i say probability of the club going bankrupt and being liquidated so we can 'compete' in this modern day football malarkey is a he'll of a price to pay for trying to be stylish.

It's all a bit short sighted for me. The club is run on good principles at the minute. Summat we should be proud of. If a group of fans is able to take the decision making on and continue the work started by Cryne then I'm content with that. That was always Crynes plan and a viable option if this takeover is ballax.

For the record I'm not opposed to this Chinese takeover either. I'll listen to what they have to say if owt ever happens.
Pass mate , these fan ownership models are fine at lower league clubs such as at Exeter , they've done ok , moving between league 2 and league one with Tisdale in charge .

With all due respect to them our club is on another level , we deal in millions here not thousands of pounds .

Patrick is a local owner but it's a business with a CEO , chairman , academy manager etc etc we employ a hell of a lot of people by comparison with Exeter City , it's a million quid plus annually to run the academy , corporate hospitality to manage , it's not a two bob part time job for enthusiastic supporters two nights a week .

Those days have gone at this level , the growth of the PL has transformed this league into something none of us of my age could have envisaged at one time .

We have to react with the times or we die .

Risk and reward , yeh it can go tyts up I wouldn't ever discount that for one minute .

What choice do we have with Patrick's health other than to go with it .
