You get one choice, save our league status or a change of ownership, which would you take?

This kind of game doesn’t appeal right now.

It's a horrible question to ask....

Which arm do you want to lose is what you are asking. It's almost an impossible question to answer.

If you choose League status? you are choosing to keep Fenty, so more penny pinching, more deluded stadium promises, more doing things on the cheap, more settling for being average, more consistently finishing in the bottom half of the League, more eventual relegation battles and more uninspiring appointments no doubt.

If you choose new owners? you are hitting the reset button, potentially revitalising the club but doing it at a level we aren't happy to be in and where we could be stuck in that vortex with the likes of Chesterfield, Wrexham and so on on of ex League clubs who are seemingly stuck. However with going down and being one of the bigger sides in the National League actually bizarrely attracts a similar if not better standard of players than being a bottom of League Two side. Players want to earn promotions and win things, so with new owners that chance may increase. New owners could bring a better level of transparency with the fans and hey you never know eventually maybe the new ground we've been promised for several decades.

Pros and cons on each side, but it's a tough one. I would like both league status and new owners please, more than anything,

I think League status should always take priority. We know the effect that relegation to non league had on us last time. If we had a strong enough squad, or financial backing to bounce straight back then that's when new owners could take over.

It has to be league status
That is the knowable (although JF not palatable)

Relegation and new owners - who knows?

Sometimes you have to take a step back to go forward...

We clearly seem to have "reached our ceiling" under Mr Fenty's leadership...

It's taken 15 years to get rid of Fenty and it took 6 years to get out of non-league.  I would risk it in Non-league to get rid of the parasite.
