    I don't know what is it but I'm confident we'll hear from the club. I think Ben The Bullshitter will finally snap to, realise what an absolute shambles the entire thing is and actually do something right for once.

    things are getting a little fraught here it seems.....people calling Jason names, some defending him.

    personally i am on the fence currently...... there is indeed a lack of action down at the 'well but this maybe being done on stealth like purpose? thereev is willing to see if Jase will walk the walk this season or carry on the utter failure we witnessed before his arrival.

    i actually have started thinking is real name is jason....i like it, it is a term of endearment for me. I have been impressed with the way he dealt with me so am prepared to give him time.

    However 2 seasons is plenty to get things moving so lets see before we start the witch hunt.

    *by no means do i think jase is a witch

    I can't understand people having a go at ben myself...... He's come into a club that really badly needs investment and I'm sure he's not just sat with his feet up day after day.

    Under previous regimes ogrady cranie Jennings and Steele would have been offloaded by now at knock down prices but we seem to want to keep them and build a team around them which shows to me we are on a much more sound footing financially than Maybe we were in the past.

    Some people who post on here want everything done now and tailored to their specific vision of what our club should be. In reality were a league 1 club now running to it's means and trying to assemble a squad capable of competing at the higher end of the table.

    Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will Mr Mansford be able to rebuild our club in a year so rather than moan take positives from what were trying to do building a young hungry attack minded squad.

    He seems to get stick without any consideration for the environment in which he's working.

    We've appointed 2 new commercial minded types recently as well, so we should see a gradual steady improvement.

    My own prospective on Mr Mansford is that he put in place some positive ideas last season ie: Free drink for fans at certain away games, New Tvs in ground, Providing Alcohol in Ponty End, Early Bird season tickets etc
    Not ground breaking decisions by any means but it was a step to bring fans on board with the ethos of closer relations between supporters and the Board.
    The problem which has thrown a spanner in the works is our relegation last season.
    We are having to cut our cloth according financially and certain factors are now destabilising his relationship with the fans.
    A clear out of the playing staff was needed but the possible transfer do COG to our rivals, if it happens of course, will leave a very sour taste in ones mouth especially after his comments in the media about the issue some weeks previous.
    The pricing structure announced appears to be hugely unpopular and keeping the entrance to £23 would have been far better.
    Hopefully before the start of the new campaign there will be at least 3 more additions to the squad because as things are currently every Fan of the club will be sceptical of our chances in League 1.
    He still has my support but this could evaporate rather quickly dependant on events in the next few months.

    Neither would I but if the club retained Championship status then I'm sure he would receive more favourable posts than at present.
    Let's see what happens.

    That relegation has been coming since 2006. And imho it'll take just as long to get to be top a end Championship club.

    We will never be a top end championship club under this regime.
