Lee Angol

Sigh!

The point i am trying to make is that other clubs are attracting investment. I know it's not solely about attendances.

But for every club that's attracting investment, there are plenty like us tyat are strughling to.

I remember the season before Kevin Nolan at Notts County saying that players were turning them down due to there precarious position in the table. When they improved and moved up the table the same players agents were ringing him. He told them where to go.

Our 'brand' image is very poor at the moment more to do with a struggling season last year than Saturday. I am still hopeful that Jolley and his team are right for the club
and will improve our standing on and off the field. I fear that it will take longer than some are prepared for.

I wouldn't say that having the luck to get a wealthier sugar daddy than certain other clubs was really attracting 'investment'!

Did Wolves attract Jack Hayward or Blackburn attract Jack Walker or did they just have absolutely bundles of money with nothing else to spend it on and want their boyhood clubs to do well?

As always in these discussions, I'll whinge about the use of the word 'investment' as that indicates the expectation of a return. What is actually the point is that we don't have a wealthy benefactor willing to give the club a load of money as part of a vanity project which is what 99% of wealthy men who bankroll clubs are in it for.

What we need to do is somehow build a team such as that which Accrington or Wycombe to a lesser degree managed last season. No big bucks involved, but some decent players working to an effective system. We'll never compete with the Mansfields, Salfords and FGRs of this world as long as their owners are chucking totally unrealistic money at the clubs.

Really think we've dodged a bullet here.

Yes of course we have. From his angol of course he is the one to have missed the bullet.

Yes it will be like turning an oil tanker round as they say. The whole club needs gradually bringing into the 20th century to start with.

I think spending a few quid sprucing BP will help!
Some paint and a new gents in the main stand.

Confirmation that Lee Angol has turned us down.

Disappointing. Wonder what the next option will be. Hopefully we’ve got other options.

Yep. A bit too early for a crisis, but I think we're going to be treading water for a while. And if he can't get the players in to make 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 work then he's going to have to change it sooner rather than later.

Still in shock tbh. Saturday made us a laughing stock. No one expected us to be promotion candidates, but it really was inept beyond words.

I think the response against Macclesfield will confirm or otherwise.
