Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[M0ufMk3]

It worked for previous owners when they let the manager get on with things, it stopped working for previous owners when they started interfering.

In 6 years under the current owners we've only once finished where we should have done, 2nd to Wrexham in 2023. Every other season we've finished below at least one smaller club. We've not once overachieved and still yet to finish as high as Hardy did.

Crucially you are forgetting that we appear to have got off the merry-go-round off looking like we're going to go bust at any minute. I no longer live in Nottingham so don't have the problem of my children not having any other choice than F***** but many on here would be forced into that if we were to carry on like we were. The Brothers have done that and they are building for success.

Everyone seemed to love the Brentford model until it meant (other people) not spending money like water and opting for this ridiculous sustainable success malarkey

Name me one club our size that's gone bust in the last 50 years with supporters left with no option but to go and watch another team. It doesn't happen. Bury had averaged less than 4k for all but one season this century and went under in exceptional circumstances (now on their way back up).

The notion that we wouldn't have a club if it wasn't for the bros is BS. We were averaging 7k the season we went down, Either somebody else would have come in at the last minute (as is often the case to get the cheapest deal possible) or we would have gone into admin and got picked up for peanuts.

The current owners have got the extra ticket money coming in that previous owners didn't have (3-6k more people through the gate) and also the extra TV money thanks to the Covid boom across football. This is a long way away from begging for 8 through the gate (and getting 5.5k) whilst having to deal with the collapse of the ITV digital deal.
