    Why does"not anybody mention why the clubs pleads poverty.

    Around the time a certain director took control of our club.The club was split into individual companies hence all monies being taken on matches days Does not go into same pot!

    I think you will find I have asked that question so many times eg does the car park money count as turnover for the club or is that separate and goes elsewhere? Also who owns the ground and does the club have to rent it?

    The club bought the ground years ago in the in the 1966 -67 Season for £15,000 off the RAILWAY why do you think the Directors are all hanging on for the big sell off,as National Rail will probably want it back.

    You will find that all monies go to go to different companies under the umbrella of Crewe Alexandra I.e Crewe Alex stadia

    I think you will find that the club has to keep accurate records of cash coming in for tax reasons but there are possibly ways around this. I feel that the club is been run on a shoe string and this is seen by promoting the new management team from within, promoting academy players before they are ready for the first team squad. The transfer window has been open for 30 days and we have bought in a centre forward on loan who does not have a proven record. I feel we might do some more business but it will be the usual last minute signings that no other club wants and we get on the cheap, so a bargain but not the quality we are looking for.I agree with a lot Itswain has to say because we can only judge the club on past performances and how the club was run during the Dario era which has now been left well and truely behind . The football clubs of the world have changed the way football is run and we are stuck in the past with an outdated system. We appear to be scared to do new things like when Dario came he plan for the club was totally radical and every one thought we were mad but we proved as a club that it could work and were top of the tree for a while in youth development but have well overtaken now . Other fans are showing there concerns as we lost hundreds more fans for the last game . DA first home game in charge , a possible 6 pointer game should have seen an increase in support but the opposite happen. The fans are not daft and can see the writing is on the wall for this club.I said from the beginning of the season that we would get relegated and not can see any other outcome at the present moment. I am a long standing fan who wants this club to succeed but will not say things are rosey when the opposite is true
