    Until we find new owners nothing is going to change and will probably get worse. No manager with any character/ability will work for this guy. The number of empty seats on Tuesday night is alarming and the people saying they aren?t renewing is equally worrying. Consensus of opinion is that season ticket sales could be as low as 2000. Supporters aren?t fools and these days there are many other ways to use one?s leisure time.

    100%.If the clear out doesn't start at the top nothing will change and I along with thousands of others will not be renewing.We can't be going through all that again and again and again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Disagree completely. That holds very little value. If there is to be yet another clearing of the squad it doesn?t matter who does it, they will bring in what they want.
    It is not hard to assess this squad !

    The point is, if you read Douglas? comments, the views cited are a clear method of which evans has never subscribed to. Either now, ten years ago or in between.

    Yet another admission of what went before was better. Evans will not deliver that.

    Absolutely this ^^^.
    The way the club is run belongs to a different age and the football grapevine will be well aware of that.
    Nothing will change unless everything changes but who would want to risk buying the club and, if there is someone out there who may consider a purchase, what would they actually get for their money?
    The training ground is rented, the stadium may not be part of the package and there are no obvious assets among the current group of players.
    Hardly an attractive proposition!

    Hard to get past all that. But to go again, whilst admitting what we need to do, yet a chairman who states the reverse and doesn’t think the promotions were a success, is in direct conflict. And to trust the older club method (in other words we know warne did it right and evans cannot) to evans seem equally crazy.

    You have to set the road from the beginning. It does not mean a new owner, just the current set up to finally admit and come to their senses.

    Unfortunately your last sentence is unlikely to happen.
    The chairman is 80, his son is apparently not particularly interested and the board seems to be made up of "yes men" who have lost touch with the way the football industry has progressed.
    Too many barriers to remove amongst that lot to achieve meaningful change.
    Fresh eyes and a more dynamic approach are needed but unlikely to be available regrettably.

    Agree with all of this. 2mora we play a down and out club that hit the jackpot, but lottery wins are few and far between.
    Perhaps we should get Cam to parade down Hollywood Bvd in his Millers shirt and cycle pants 🤣🤣🤣

    A bit far for me to travel these days but I'll give it a go around the streets here in the Pacific Northwest where the real money men like Bezos and Gates live rather than those Hollywood ten bob billionaires

    We all know change is needed from the top, CE to replace Douglas but can you see it happening before next season? I can't so surely if we are real fans we are still going to give the club our backing. Tony Stewart deserves that Tuesday was lacking in respect for him with the poor attendance. Manager give me a new name cause I'm struggling for one. It's Scott as well both he & SE have got next summers transfer window to put it right. They should know what's required.
