Mr. Fleming does a lot of work behind the scenes as well as running the club.

So what is his business acumen, biggest success as Chief Executive and what other jobs does he do around the club? It's about time all jobs at the top of this club came under scrutiny. What pressure as Chief Executive is Ian Fleming under to deliver on his objectives and what are those objectives?

All well and good, but where is the investment, the ideas, the ambition, the plan - where is it? Is it a Chief Exec role in the accepted sense, or is the owner in total control and therefore he is hamstrung?

How can it be much worse, we are urine poor, look at our form in league 2 over the last 8 seasons we've been down here we've only won 130 games total thats 35% in the lowest professional league in the country. Then we spent 6 seasons not even in the league!
Oh but I hear some say at least we've got a team to watch lose week after week unlike Darlington or Chester or Hereford.
Wait a second, oh yes they've all got phoenix clubs so those fans can still watch their club if they want too. Eventually they may pass us by too just like AFC did.
Some are far too accepting.

Over the last 65 years I have seen us promoted and relegated many times,
The games I have enjoyed the most are the ones where we had good local lads not only in the team but being selected for international duties as well,
To be honest I have enjoyed games in DIV 4 Just as much as in L1 or now the championship,
Having a team that loves the club as much as us spectators makes all the difference,
Over the last few years it's been a low so its time for a high because we go up and we go down never staying too long in any division ( non league was too long )
It might be wishful thinking but I think MJ might be the one who takes on a journey back up the leagues if he gets a budget that enables him to sign the right players.
Doing that AND getting a new stadium sounds too good to be true but we can dream if nothing else.

I have a recurring dream. I win 75million on the EuroLottery and contact Town but I have to convince the management I am not a foreign money launderer. That done, I offer £50 million to get the club on its feet and build a new stadium. No silly wages but good enough to attract some top players to get us promoted. MJ to stay as the manager as a reward for his good work but he will need to deliver the results. I would settle for mid table in the Championship as the ultimate aim. A dream but surely if the likes of Rotherham and Doncaster can do it why can't we? You never know.
What happens in the end....or don't you get that far...are you sat in the oak panelled room finalising the details and JF looms towards you ....hand out to shake on the deal , wide smile .... and you suddenly wake up in a cold sweat !!!

It would worry me what his hand was going to get hold of to shake on.

As things stand we are going back to the National League. Maybe one year, maybe two. Change is needed!

The truth hurts

| When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?” |
