I have been looking at the squad of the 2009/10 team that got relegated and there are similarities between both squads that's quite worrying both squads had a alarming amount of trialists in pre season both went down to devon for pre season. Both teams had alot of young loan players 2009/10 was Chambers, Fletcher, Devitt, Cowan-Hall, Featherstone, Oxley, McCrory, Magennis, Coulson and Lancashire amongst others. We also signed players like Peacock and Hudson both players Hudson was similar to Summerfield for effort and Peacock was simlar in age to Mcsheffrey / Woolford, Heywood similar to Nathan Clarke. Stockdale age and injuries similar to Davies / Dixon.

In 2009/10 we had players like Sweeney, Forbes, Proudlock who didn't care fans say Rose and Hooper don't care. Town also gave Akpa - Akpro his first break in the Football League and we have done the same with Dembele.

The alarming rate of not winning a match is equal to both sets of players.

This season has air of deja vu about it i hope i'm wrong because i fear for this club if we go down, Fenty not learning from his mistakes AGAIN.
I worry if we go down Fenty might leave the club (which some fans want) and we could go into adminstration get a big points deduction and get relegated to National League North.

Not sure you have grasped what administration is and who could put us into administration!

Surely if we go down and Fenty leaves and calls in his loans, how could we afford to pay him back which could lead to adminstration that's what i'm saying.

The money isn’t there to pay him back even if we went into administration. The only real fixed asset of any significant value  is the land BP sits on and as it as far as I know has no outlying planning permission it will only be worth a proportion of the £2 million.

Fenty won’t take us into administration by walking away as he’d never be able to leave his snooker room without being reminded of it and it would potentially impact on getting re-elected to the council.

If we went into administration we could cease to exist and start right at the bottom like Hereford Utd.

The comparisons are frightening, even down to the talented young striker signing on loan only to have his spell curtailed by injured (Paris Cowan-Hall & Charles Vernam).

By this time in 2010 I think we had started to fight and had some spark in the team.  Devitt and Coulson were constant threats out wide and whilst rarely getting anywhere, Akpa-Akpro was a nuisance.  Even Peter Bore was a threat bombing on from right-back.

What have we got this season to inspire us?  Gary McSheffrey and his urine-poor supposed expert set-pieces.

The only person who can,  in theory, put the club into administration is Fenty yet the only person who would lose out in doing so would be Fenty himself.

We dont have any significant other debt, the only debt is to Fenty himself. If he is happy to put the club to the wall and receive say £200k then we will be left to create a phoenix set up!

The main reason why this will not happen is that Fenty has entered into a legally binding agreement that the club can only repay the directors loans when they can afford to do so. That isn't going to happen any time soon and why he waits for 'football fortune'. I suspect it is the reason why Chapman hangs around. He would like his 2' 6d back but the club can't afford to do so

Fenty has said on numerous occasions he will never put the club he loves into any financial harm,

So he either walks away and forgets about his loans or we are stuck with him,

All the people saying they will not go or buy a season ticket next season will not drive Fenty out,

Because in his eyes he is always right and the fans are always wrong,

So that means Jolley will have less money to bring in decent players of his own,

I am trying to think of a different way to make Fenty walk,

The only thing that might work is if enough people just keep protesting about him and in the long term he might get fed up and leave,

He does not like to be criticised and his silence over the last month or so shows the criticism is getting to him.

So just keep up the pressure and I think he will crack in the end.

Lets hope so.

PS, just to confirm putting less money into the club will not make Fenty put any more in he will just reduce the managers budget.

Exactly this!

And the last time Chapman “invested” any money he paid in white fivers.

The 2009/10 relegation team at least started to put a fight up towards the end of the season, that 2-0 victory against Barnet showed that they could at least grind out a win when it absolutely mattered. Granted we collapsed at Burton but still. I think if we'd have had an actually inspiring manager, we could have turned it around with that team and stayed up but as it was, the 25 or 26 games we went absolutely killed us.

Whereas this team has absolutely nothing to write home about. I've been optimistic all season but now, I can't see where a win is going to come from.

The man who would've kept that team up is the man who'll relegate this one. Funny old game, eh?
