I've always been realistic when it comes to the owners compared to people under the impression that the club has access to family wealth upwards of a billion or that we've ever been in a position to do a Brentford.

Well on that very specific barometer of billionaires and PL Brentford, then I whole heartedly agree you've always been realistic

It seems like an industry that could be 90% automated with scripts to pull X amount of players/data with the other 10% being censor checking.

Perhaps they're at a point where they've automated the data or are moving their office to somewhere where it has less overheads as opposed to impending financial doom.

Or perhaps they lost one of their big contracts to supply odds for... could be anything.

I'm sure if there was any danger on the horizon they'd have entertained any bids received for Langstaff.

The point of disagreement is whether or not its' possible to arrive in tier 3 and settle in indefinitely and be happy with that.
I say tier 3 is the crossroads division, not a destination. You can hang about for a bit deciding which way you're going to turn, but it's in tier 3 where you have to decide what sort of club you want to be. There is a massive difference between tier 2 and tier 4. Going by what I've seen so far, I think it's more likely we'd become a Port Vale (going up and down between tiers 3 and 4) under the current owners than Peterboro (up and down between tiers 2 and 3).

This thread is basically about the owners not being what they seem. I say a lot of people have got a very unrealistic impression of them, which as Jackal points out, is something people are projecting on to them, not something they themselves are encouraging.
