    What has been the owners biggest statement of intent (ambition) in the six years they've been here?

    Only thing that springs to mind is not selling and keeping hold of Langstaff for one year. That was no small matter and a decision that might have counted for a lot more if they'd brought in somebody to push us on to promotion that season, but sadly they opted for Maynard.

    McGoldrick seemingly would have come back regardless, with him just wanting to play for Notts again in the twilight of his career, so I don't think they can take too much credit for that.

    I'd say their bash at long-term sustainability and not having us sh!tt!ng our pants at the end of the season wondering if we'd still have a club is a pretty fine and solid achievement. That is not to say that I don't think they've made misjudgments but surely our potential future is brighter than at any time post-Pavis

    I know I sound like a broken record but we need to get away from a division where one bad season, puts you back in the NL and a huge opportunity has been missed to do that.

    I actually agree with that and I've expressed the concern that this team isn't as good as we think it is. We have two and a half good defenders but playing an a three they aren't going to get a lot of help from the midfield (barring George who's gone). However, there is a long term plan and the club is in a lot better shape than some of absolute rubbish we've witnessed this century (pretend money team excepted).
