    It feels a lot different to me. The spotlight is now well and truly focused on the owners. The stadium needs attention, the cash reserves are short by £750k, the priorities have been fully exposed by the new CEO (who struggles to differentiate between transparent and opaque). Long-term season ticket holders have become disenfranchised. If we go down, next season could become a battle to stay afloat, never mind compete.

    All that said, though, I still think there is enough in the squad to allow a decent manager to turn things around. Let's hope we've got one.

    Indeed. I hope the landscape will look different after the next three matches.

    Definitely, Helik, Andersen, Styles and Morris. Clubs in the Championship would be able to offer them a pay rise, and they'd still be relatively cheap in their wage structures. Maybe Brittain as well. Bigger spenders in League 1 would look at some of our players as well.

    The issues this season hasn't been the ability of the players. The club has just imploded.
