That is the quadary the club faces.I have not heard that things have become any more serious recently than they have been for a couple of seasons.To stay up would be the key, it is roulette wheel time.If RL really believes in Wottes ability to stay up i doubt he will push the button, if our creditors do they will be looking for a massive drop in theior return of funds and so it is only the bank who may do something.I expect they like to a lot of businesses they are not increasing overdrafts or even cutting them. it is now brinkmanship and judgement. RL is not a great CEO but I myself believe he is better equipped than many to get us out of it. LC being a fan may not have taken the right route and kept the high wage earners as he would want to have kept the playing side in better shape. This season IMo was only ever about staying up, at present that is looking difficult.

i agree LC did have backing from the bank as long as he sold everything that moved. It is so funny that you put Wilde and Lowe together during the whole last 3 seasons. It was LC who was the power broker and he installed the Wilde bunch to power. RL did not spend the 12 m and i suggest he would have reigned GB in and I expect LC would have also. The Bunch came in on football first and so spent and tried to appease the fans. I wanted RL gone but not for any alternative as i could see and like others warned of the consequences whicjh may i say was one of the things being faced by us now. I love the bit where you say Corbett and LC begged the board not to buy, that is another lol. LC said he had not got the Walcott money paid up early and then it came out he had. He installed G&D and saved himself by the skin of his teeth with NP (only 20 mijutes from safety though) and then did not get NP signed up longer. i understand why he didnt but as he is such a gods on here perhaps fans should point the finger at him for that. You have not put facts but guesses and as for your statement that RL and MW are not looking for investment i can tell you 100% with certainty that is not true.

Factual summeries Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

pfc123 you come on here in an unconfrontational way and so i will answer you as i see it. The big difference when you did itto us is that the league sanctions were not in place. if you had incurred a 10-17 point penalty you would have been relegated first season and so would be in the wilderness and Manadaric would not have bought you knowing that you were not a viable proposition. The people out there would not be interested in buying a lcub that was in L1 and -10 + points IMO

Lol

From your perspective not from mine, i knew that some may put that as i wrote.In fact i could turn the same back to you as i believe we would be in administration already if RL had noit returned.That is opinion, but having the finances to buy bit wait for disaster before saving the club is not the type of fan Io wnat running our club thankyou

League regulations or law are binding if you wish to enter the league. Therefore it is the laws put down by them which would have to be followed.It would be foolish not to abide by them. Also the local authority have their own stipulations regarding giving planning approval. You have alluded that the club lied and so being in the 'trade' it is easy for you to show where the club did so by reading the planning that was required in getting the permissions and pointing out to us 'who know nothing 'where they did so. Its very easy for you to say that believing what the club or officers who should know were lying to fob us off and then not give fair reasons why. Your point about the width needed for fire engines perhaps reinforces the case that the club were not lying as I expect the gap between the stand and the emergency vehicle access is wide down both sides of the ground. You have not addressed any of the matters but just tried to cover your initial post with waffle. Come back and show where the club lied. I fully expect if you read the planning you would see that is why the track is so wide.

I thought people had come to terms that jacksons farm is not worht that much , especially now. The land around SMS is worth what? To get it they will have to take on debts of quite a large amount. I cannot see how so called fans would suit back and wait for the club to be relegatd or having a 10 point penalty before moving.I myself couldnt sit on my hands and wait as i watched the club go into freefall just to buy it cheaper.If so i question if theior motives are any better than hwat we already have.

Well if we get the same points in the last 7 games as we have in the previous 7 games i would increase our chances to 85-90% of survival.

I do hope they increase your medication as it is long overdue, a lethal dosage may not go amiss

You will eat your words in time IMO

So just a change of deckchairs, only a cosmetic change. I still believe we have have a 75% chance of staying up. Surely we should hope that RL is here next season, the only reason for that being we did win the fight against relegation.

But even those dont have the same feeling as watching the Big Match on a sunday afternoon 20 years ago.No doubt the football was slower but it had an edge that modern football has lost.There are a number of things that have made it so boring, wall to wall football on tv has contributed.Seeing players earn 50k a week and they cant pass a ball more than 3 yards, their demi godstatus and losing connection with the fans.The pitches being like bowling greens have made it quicker but those games on muddy pitches had a different feel to them.All seater stadia also has dulled the feel of a game, and of course time has blunted the enthusiasm.

The laws/ regulations of the leagues dont count then. You design stadiums and then cant play in the leagues when they are built then as they contravein the rules Lol. Even an architect would know that if you don't adhere to the rules you wont be able to use the facility. I would expect you would use the regulations before drwing up any plans or do you just steamroller through and not worry about such things? You also didn't answer the question regarding it being more cost effective to keep the stadium running in one rather than seperate stands. Also the local planners would have their say in the health and safety issue regarding ground evacuation. You are the architech and so would be able to access the rules/regulations for SMS easier than myself as i wouldn't know where to look. You will also be able then to show me where the club lied to fools like me.

the latter end I would suggest and perhaps a lot more. A company Iknow had his stock put into auction and not only did he have to pay the auctions full charges but the administrator put on 15% as well!

Yep Chewton Glens champagne is very dear, all reclaimable as well against any company the administrator is overseeing.

Duncan knows a lot of people at the club there is no doubt of that, but it doesnt mean that the info he has been supplied with is correct. I know that the info that the IR have been paid up would be correct.

i dont agree but only a few people would know for certain

could have but what a nightmare or accounting.The vat etc and costs of reinbursement would be quite high.Also if the club felt there was a chance of us going into admin it would be a poor thing to do.For all the things that are pointed at them i dont think they intentionally go out to upset the fans.

but the only way they would sell at present is at rock bottom prices. If we manage to stay up the extra income will be 10-20% in what the club can charge. Perhaps the lack of a loan signing may be due to us not being able to raise the money.

Of course i was lying StM, it stands to reason doesnt it? Lol

there isnt a massive drop in the share price 0.75p (although 5%) and so no real panic selling at present

I was told we were fully paid up with the IR. That doesnt mean we would not go into administration, in fact it would be best case if were paid up with them (if the horrible eventuality happened) as it is easier to get out of administration if they are not involved.

I think he should keep to football. I always thought he was part pikey, and now you can see what part
