So whilst the business side seems sound the same cannot be said for the footballing side. Chasing value is at the cost of progression and instead of League 1 gates and football with the excitement of maybe getting into the Championship we face yet another season in the basement.

I fear another season without promotion and building the footballing side for future success may start to see a decline in other areas. The club might not rely on my meagre attendance record for survival but I would certainly have been down for more games had more been on offer.

All in all it feels all a bit unstable.
A little too much hysteria. Maynard is the first real sacking the owners have made. Ardley sacked because Burchnall's availability in the summer was at stake. Burchnall went to a league 1 side, Williams went to the championship. Let's not forget that they bought in players such as Cal Roberts, Ruben Rodrigues, Macaulay Langstaff, need I go on?

We also have a football philosophy, we play football from the back in a patient build up. Maynard couldn't master it but Burchnall and Williams certainly played pretty great stuff
