    Seems like many years?



    If he walks we are screwed

    If he stays we are walking in treacle


    Watkins n Mansford are achieving nothing behind the scenes


    Major changes needed but seems lole no one wants to step in and move the club forward.

    Last I heard it would take £10 million to buy Cryne's share of the club. It seems there aren't any viable buyers out there, or none that fit Cryne's criteria...

    And yet Bournemouth managed to find one. Not saying that that is how we should go but come on, Bournemouth!!

    If he leaves we are truly ******, no one is interested in a small town with nothing in it, a team going backwards where they average, what 8k attendances? No Prince is going to look at that and think, i want that, These modern owners are looking for cities where attendances are going to go up if they're playing well, winning games.

    I say again, Bournemouth managed it!!

    And anyway, assuming he would not want his money back right away (or at all) we should be able to stand on our own merits even if that meant dropping to the basement league to regroup.

    If we were doing well at this level we'd be getting 12k plus and 18 to 20 in Championship. If we ever got to the Prem we would sell out the stadium and could get up to 30k I think

    All you lot with these grand ideas of wanting Cryne gone. Already complaining that we're dropping down the leagues, don t you think it would be an awful lot worse if he didn't own us. Christ some of you live in a different world. Here's an idea, if you want him gone so bad, find the money and buy him out.

    Managers performing below par, and a board that seems to have no idea how to run a football club. Either Cryne sweeps the boardroom clean or he walks. But there's no fairy godmother waiting if he bails out.

    It's the location quite simply. Look at the lower league southern clubs, a lot have well known brand shirt sponsorship and probably for a good amount. We have a scrap metal merchant.
