Pearson spoke well, as eloquently and cogently as I’ve heard him speak. Stockwood sounded rattled at times. He needn’t have. More people are on his side than he seems to realise. You’ll never please everyone. Needs to chill out a bit. I think Ben and Shaun were equally impressive. I’m delighted that their futures have been guaranteed.

JS and AP are on their own in this foray into club ownership and it doesn’t matter how much £ you’ve got continuous transferring of £££ will start to grind . As some have said they decided to do this and to an extent that’s true but a fans forum is a true test of anyone’s resolve . I’m sure a stiff drink will be underway right now and some soul searching.

With a decision still to be made on the new manager, that will only be more pressure, so you can perhaps understand if he's a bit less diplomatic than he might usually be?

The owners hands are tied by the previous owner’s welded wallet not investing in infrastructure, local businesses not having the cash to invest in difficult circumstances and facing other clubs with much bigger pots of money and short to medium term goals much more ambitious than us. The future is more assured but bloody hell it’s bleak being a supporter of a club living within it’s means isn’t it? That said Shaun and Benji (hi Bob) are possibly long term candidates for the job. Good students of the game, locally based and sound to be pretty invested in the long term view.

In addition to this money is a bit tight despite and JS & AP are propping us up as expected.

Can’t think of anyone tbh ?! I assume it would be more meaning a couple of players moving out on loan/free transfers potentially to free the wage budget up for a couple of additions? Again that would probably be acquired on a loan or for a very small fee at that stage of the season.

The good news is that we may have secured a site for a new training ground but don't have the money to do anything with it. My advice would be to forget the new training ground in that case, and just make incremental improvements to Cheapside. The Main Stand is being "updated" with less posts. Why bother? We need to put all our efforts into the team. Unless we get moving upwards in terms of league position then all the stuff they would like to achieve is just a fantasy. They have created a better club, a more updated and modern club so personally I would leave it at that for now, as we need to get momentum on the field.
