    The end of the season this weekend will reveal our fate and whatever happens it seems like there will be a new chapter.

    The 49ers investment arm seems to gather together astute, affluent individuals who collectively invest so if they do finally complete the takeover then there is likely to be a lot more strategic thinking and planning done that appears to have been the case in the last 18 months which can only be a good thing.

    For all the frustrations of that period we are still in a far better position than 10 years ago.

    We have some very good young players and should have a squad good enough for the EFL if that is where we are destined to be.

    The rumours suggest Adams will stay which if true (but god knows) bode well. A fair few are coming to the end of contracts and others will be moved on.

    Disappointing how the season has panned out but likely that by the end of the season/start of the next - no more Marsch, Orta or Radz which is what a lot of people wanted. suspect Kinnear will be gone too.

    Let’s hope the new broom is to our liking 😎
    Thank you. So hard when you are going through it but I believe that you are more correct than not on this assessment.

    My one big fear still is that the takeover does not happen because radz blows up the deal for more money. we are in a really bad way if that happens.

    The way things are developing, with Radrizzani now supposedly talking to QSI about partnering for the purchase of Sampdoria, the chances of getting anything done "at pace" are next to nothing.

    The next transfer window opens mid-June (that's about three weeks away!).

    The nature of the changes that are needed at LUFC;

    1. Ownership

    2. Selection of a new manager and coaching team (we had such a great performance on that score last time, didn't we?)

    3. THEN the jumble sale of players that need to go

    4. Then a (hopefully) slightly more sophisticated process of identifying and acquiring some REAL talent

    Ok, some of that can be done in parallel, but until (1) is done and dusted, I don't see how much else can happen. Do all that, and get a team together that has all the kind of qualities that are so clearly absent at present, in around 8 weeks from start of transfer window (or 11 if you have the starting gun as being this Sunday)

    More chance of Donald Trump being the next UK Prime Minister.
