The sublime to the ridiculous

[jackal2]

The title of the thread is far harsher on the bros than it's meant to be and I think they've been brilliant for us, but are they just too fixated on moving forward at the speed of a glacier at the expense of the short term?

The club was in financial meltdown and out of the league five years ago. We're now in our second season back in the league and should at least finish in a higher position than last season, possibly in the play-offs, possibly even promoted. I just don't see where the "moving like a glacier reference" comes from. Wrexham have moved faster I'll grant you, but their owners are a one-off in terms of financial clout.

It's been steady progress rather than spectacular under the Reedtz regime, but certainly not slow, and it's being achieved without putting the club back in the financial mire. I just despair with the football fan mentality sometimes, but at least the current owners rise above and ignore such nonsense rather than responding to it, which is where Trew and Hardy started to unravel, especially on social media.

There seems to me like there is a lot of impatience and it's understandable. It will have been 10 years at the end of the season since we were last in League One which for me is our natural level and 30 years since we were last in the second tier. For the more senior fans they will have seen us in the top flight and have full experience of the Jimmy Sirrel and Neil Warnock eras and so seeing us in tier 4 is a long way from those times whereas those under 35 will not remember those times and only know us as a League One/Two and National League club.

Then you've got the Wrexham Stockport and Mansfield trio. All three clubs that we've been competing with in recent seasons and people see Wrexham knocking on the door of the championship, Stockport in the league one play-offs and Mansfield a league above us and looking like they should be able to survive and it may feel as though we are not keeping up.

I'm happy with steady progress over the past six seasons. Of course there will be some disappointment if we don't go up this year especially being in the top five for most of the season but the final chapter of this season has yet to be written and we don't know the outcome.

I'd sooner the club adopt a more gradual improvement rather than the boom and bust that we had from 2001-2019.

It does require a degree of patience because the club gives people a platform to learn and grow so that it becomes stronger for it in the long run. Then off the field there is the constant improvements to the infrastructure of the club.

The club was in financial meltdown with Saturday league gates of 3,500 when we had the crisis meeting at the Astoria, LESS THAN FIVE YEARS LATER we were kicking off a new season at Old Trafford.
