Has the recent investments only covered the costs of running the club for the last two seasons. We have currently progressed no further than the floor of Football League Division 4, where we have stagnated since JF was here.

At present I see another harsh season of struggling to get further up the division.

Good amount to cover losses for now and let’s hope for some football fortune in the meantime or back to square one, as I don’t see sustainability anytime soon.

A win today UTMM 👍👍


That's probably too near the truth for some. Yes, it's great but, on it's own, it isn't enough to make a significant impact.

Depends what you spend it on.

Can’t imagine the owners have just gone out cap in hand asking for £1.5m just to go in the general pot.

Is it because we hold the record for most promotions and relegations that some fans view a promotion, a record FA cup run and a season of transition as stagnation?

Scotch eggs do seem to cost a heck of a lot these days, though.

It's either a massive coincidence that the amount is effectively the same as the seasonal loss since 1878 took over or there is some truth in that .

I'm hoping either way , the new people will be more of an ongoing thing in terms of investment  rather than this being a one off tranche of shares .

I would think it's more the fact we had some forward momentum for a change and failed to capitalise on both the extra income and feel good factor ; and in some's mind it's back to 'here we go again ' - like I said in another post it's more based on our poor recent history than the here and now imo .

If we finish bottom six again would that be stagnation?  I'm throwing that out genuinely. How far do we need to move the needle to say we've definitely made progress.

After two years of success and improvement, last season was a step backwards again in most fans eyes. Unless we regain some momentum, there’s likely to be an inevitable feeling of ‘here we go again’ - let’s face it, after two decent home performances, a gate of 5400 isn’t a ringing endorsement.
