Sliding Doors moment?

I didn't know they were going to buy Wrexham so maybe you're right although think we're still overall the better club if both went up to go further. I think whoever they bought then they might think we should have bought a league 2 club ha ha, this division is a killer. I know it's only 2 up but it seems also to not really follow any kind of pattern, it's really dog eat dog. You think you'll be out of here quickly but you get dragged into the tedium.

To be fair, I don't know that they were either, I've made the assumption based on their previous choice of their company name, which is now simply 'Reedtz Limited', but it would seem a good bet.

I think you're right mate, sounds right and Wrexham also have a good history with potential to grow. I think they might have thought buying Notts was a no brainer and we'd be straight back up but alas no.

Don’t think they did think we’d go straight back up. I’m pretty sure they knew it was one up and a tough league to get out of. The only thing they might regret with buying us is with brexit quashing their whole model around buying undervalued overseas players.

Looking at the current ownership of Notts and Wrexham respectively, I wonder whether the Brothers Reedtz ever regret deciding to buy Notts rather than Wrexham? Perhaps if they had bought the Welsh club the Hollywood owners might have bought Notts.

I really hope the Reedtz chapter in Notts history turns out to be one of success but it is always interesting to wonder how differently things might have turned out. For what it's worth, I'm very happy to have our current owners.

Wouldn't necessarily have been Hollywood but Gerard Pique put in an offer for Notts. Player Chairman anyone?

Yes that one could have been interesting!

Honestly I feel a little underwhelmed with bros.

Honestly I feel a little underwhelmed with bros.

Is that because they haven't spent say 6 figures on a couple of impressive signings like similar sized clubs and promotion rivals have?

Or is it for other reasons mds?

I thought in our third season down here we at least might have a stronger team than the one that finished the first, I don’t think we have and we look weaker than the one that finished the second.

The first season we finished with:

GK - Slocombe
RB - Brindley
CB - Lacey
CB - Rawlinson
LB - McCrory/ Cardiff Loan

RW - Enzio
LW - Roberts
CM - Rose/ O'Brien
CM - Doyle

ST - Wootton
ST - Dennis/ Thomas

The only real weakening is in our options up front, central midfield depending on who gets selected have improved in my opinion.

Saturday v Woking might be the beginning of an amazing run that sees us climb into 1st place and stay there, Dover might put a run together that sees them ultimately avoid relegation. As of today however, I'd swap our owners for Wrexham's owners in a heart-beat, I'd probably swap our owners for the vast majority of chairman above us in the pyramid.

We are getting worse under the Reedtz bros, there is no argument about that, it's a stone cold fact. Last season we finished lower in the table and got knocked out at an earlier stage in the play offs than 2019/20.
This week, it's been confirmed what we've probably all suspected - deep down - since the day Burchnall was appointed. The owners are, relatively speaking, skint.

If they haven't got the football nous either, then - tragically - we are still yet to hit rock bottom and that is not going to be pretty.
