Crowley to Mansfield/MK Dons rumours

[upthemaggies]

We'd have run out of town any previous owners who'd delivered a best league position in 5 years of the bottom half of the 4th division.
We should of course be grateful they saved the club from the mess Hardy made but 5 years on we're still a level below what most of us consider to be par for the club. It's not really a triumph.

We can argue amongst ourselves about the merits or shortcomings of the owners, we'll know objectively that we have the real deal when Fword fans' attitude to Notts reverts back to what it was during the Dunnett, Pavis and Munto years and they begin to be annoyed by us and see us as a potential problem again.

Wow.

Wow.

Yes it’s a different spin.
I would argue every owner before in 20 years plus has probably left us worse off than where they found us.
That culminated in us nearly being bust a few times, in the graveyard of the NL which numerous clubs have struggled to get out of with the ridiculous 1 promotion spot out of it.

The best bit is I don’t think any of the owners were really ran out of town, yet the owners that have a net position of a division higher aren’t a triumph 😂😂😂

I would say, given the chasm in difference between football finances at the PL level and ours, this would take years and years to even start to achieve and may not even be achievable through no fault of our own.

Let that mob get on with what they want to do. We should measure ourselves by far more realistic contexts.

There's a fair chance Fword will get relegated and go into decline before this decade is out.

They were at least one league above us most of the Dunnet/Pavis years, Munto also, but they could see we were making serious strides back then. I'm sure most of them are saying nice complimentary things about Notts at the moment, but it's when they start taking swipes that we'll know we're making real progress.

The day I judge my club to what a Forest fan thinks of it will be a cold day in hell, actually baltic 😂

[Chicken Balti Pie]

I find it absolutely astonishing we’ve got our best owners since Pavis which must be 30 odd years. The best recruitment in 30 odd years. Probably the best off the field revenue ever and cos we’re 2 or 3 players short and other clubs want our players the worlds ending?

2 or 3 players short is not a promotion winning squad which is what we need to be in order to continue said off field improvements

So you truly believe we will not get 2/3 in? Ignore that fact it’s not ideal and the same place a lot of clubs are in, even the top clubs on the premiership, but you’re sure the owners will not get 2/3 in?

Munto? Yes they were giving it a bit and then had the biggest laugh of their lives when they realised it wasn’t real. The amount of times I’ve heard them say, you should like Forest we always get the buckets out at the city ground for you.
