still would like to know the source of say their not as they seem.
Is it a disgruntled ex employee, is it they are more ruthless than they come across? Which would be fine with me or is it a genuine finding their is something dodgy?

I am still celebrating over 100 points, over 100 goals, just 3 league defeats and a great day out at Wembley.

We have not dismantled the team like we did after the Munto season but have added some what look like will be good signings. I

Cannot see any evidence of the owners not being what we think they are. Yes they don't splash the cash as some might want, but they are investing. The new PA is a good example.

I don't even mind the red on the home shirts!

If money was tight I don’t think a new quality PA system on a stadium you don’t own is a sound investment. Pun intended.

[Magpies1959]

It is also good to see the owners putting money into the playing surface at grass roots level.

Tech companies make people redundant all the time. It's not a big deal. Particularly with remote working now a thing. You can hire anyone anywhere at probably half the cost of office staff.

My 2 cents... in my experience pessimists are great at spotting risks, and optimists are great at identifying opportunities. A healthy dialogue between the groups and with the people in between, where risks and opportunities are interrogated and examined for evidence, precedent etc, is always helpful.

That's this thread in a nutshell, and that's why I've enjoyed reading it, especially the posts I find myself in disagreement with.

And while I share optimism about the club's current status and recent achievements, I have to admit from long and bitter experience that some pessimists have an almost supernatural ability to predict what's going to go wrong, sometimes years in advance, and that this club, for what it's worth, has had truly dreadful "luck" in the past. It's hard to argue we're suddenly immune from being "Nottsed" despite what appears to be competent and well resourced ownership for now.

I find the idea that we'll end up floating around League One for a while very plausible, and that this results in stagnation and other risks also very plausible, but for now I'm absolutely delighted to be in L2 with interesting promotion prospects.

It might be a big deal to those being made redundant.
