Yes that's the crux of it, they've been given a free pass to do what they want largely on the basis of them not being Alan Hardy.

I think that's a bit off. The vast majority of people are very happy, perhaps even relieved, to finally have the apparent stability and sensible, up-to-date approach they bring. I'm sure if the Reedtz Bros. were eventually to do something less sensible this alleged 'free pass' would very soon be withdrawn by that same majority. You never know, they still might cock it up or walk away chucking us back into the death spiral.

Why wouldn't they do as they want, they pay the bills and have the right to run the Club how they feel fit

That's what AT thought when she employed Fullarton.

I trust these owners slightly more than the Chairmans wife

Or Ray Trew or Munto or Scardino.

And with that short but pertinent list which could easily be extended its 'case closed'.

If any Notts fans memory of bad and disastrous owners starts and ends with Alan Hardy I quickly doubt that they are even a Notts fan. That or they must be under 12 years old.

I know a lot of last two two decades was painful as a Notts fan but you can't just pretend it didn't happen to have a dig at the current owners. Come on UTM you remember the rogues gallery of owners pre Hardy right?

Seems a few fans can't deal without there being some drama or a person/persons to have a go at. While the majority are quite happy Long live the nerd brothers and their sensible no drama approach.

Yes, I remember the good one's too.
There's also 96 clubs who've just finished above us, most of whom must have had better owners than us for the most part.

The statement today suggests more of the same and seeing that the fan base is still largely made up of the same people who turned against both the Trews and Hardy (and rightly so), I do wonder if there's a pressure cooker situation developing which could explode much quicker than we've seen previously. At the time Fullarton was appointed we were mid-table. At this level the tipping point won't be as low.

The pressure cooker of being a sensibly run club with an approach/identity and largely playing entertaining brand of football?

That's the rose tinted view, the flip side is that the fabled 'stability' under these owners will result in us remaining a 'stable' non-league club. Players can be judged on a game by game basis, but owners can only really be judged when they leave. Did they make progress or not? Remember that both Trew and Hardy were very popular in their first season or two. I can't see these owners leaving us in a desperate state, but if we are in the same place when they exit I'll be a bit disappointed in them.
