I think the only players who are out of contract who will b offered deals are Macca and Summers the rest will be released I think......... hope!


So do I but if there is no money in the pot Jolley might have to resign a few more,

I really hope that does not happen.

I wish people would look at the bigger picture,

Not going will not drive Fenty out in fact he will be happy if all the Fenty Out brigade stay away,

The only thing that will work imo  is too keep putting him under pressure and he will crack.

I don’t know where we go from here. But I do know relegation from the league once is unfortunate, but relegation twice and so soon after the promotion shows a complete lack of competency throughout the club. So much has to change.

This is no consolation but though they went up a season before us Barnet look like they’ll be returning to non league as well so we are not the only ones who have failed miserably.

I think you are well wide of the mark personally Pete.Historically on Fentys watch when the crowd drops he gets an itchy trigger finger.The mood in the Town at present is one of real anger to going down but trying to back the players and pulling off a miracle.No way well the fans just mutely accept another relegation and only Fenty coming out and spending real money in the Summer could save him now? Personally I think it`s a bridge to far and his position is untenable but that`s largely upto him.His character suggests he will stay put and repeat the same old same old that`s what he does.Well goodluck with that John.

Exactly 1ML he got MJ in as he was desperate to work in the pro game as a manager and would put up with having to work with meagre resources.

I think the player recruitment might look similar especially when MJ talked about living 1 hour away from BP which would suggest another lack of quality.

They average less than half our crowds though, so their failure is nowhere near as miserable.

Agree, it's clear that staying away would make a difference although it would also affect the club in the short term. The board truly believe that it is a minority of fans who want them gone, they see the stable attendances as proof of this. If in the summer we sell 1/3 of the season tickets we did for this season then that will show them in no uncertain terms that they are not supported and they'll finally realise their position is untenable without real and dramatic change in the way they operate.

Fenty only cares about money, that has been shown time and time again. A significant drop in revenue will soon see him questioning whether he wants to be involved for much longer.

Mariner91 you are right.  But there is no reasoning with dictators.  

They believe their own publicity.   Assuming there was a big drop in season tickets, Fenty would rationalise this by thinking (or saying) that some fans had bullied others into not renewing season tickets.  A win win for him, in his distorted view of reality.

That makes our current situation even more frustrating. What don't you understand about it John? We are loyal to the club in spite of you NOT because of you.
