The next 3 days are probably some of the most important in the clubs history,we need the owners to invest money to secure our future in the Football League. We will soon find out,if they are serious about being football club owners or just playing at it. Over to you Jason and Andrew.
I can't say more than you. Jason did say that they want to improve each transfer window. Conteh has gone so some money should be there for improvement.

Seven and a half months between Ipswich and Scunthorpe. He goes from Championship for League Two.
11 months between Scunny and his second spell here. He goes from lower mid-table League Two to relegation threatened side who are, at that moment, a basketcase club.
3 months between Town and second spell at Shrews. He trades struggling League Two for a very congested lower mid-table League One.
Not many managers get the chance to upgrade following a sacking.

I think they're trying to run the club sustainably, rather than at a loss, and unfortunately, a lot of clubs don't.
We have also has significant outlay in terms of ground maintenance, training facilities etc. Ultimately that money is either spent on managers salaries, players salaries, transfer fees or other club costs.
I'm sure someone said the roofing work and other stuff at the ground needed £1m, and if that's so, that's a huge sum of money for a club at our level.
The roof and other items were ones that were kicked down the street by the previous owner. That job in particular was hidden from them too. His penny pinching is lingering round the club like a post kebab fart, still creating issues like we see today.

I can taste this imagery. You should write children's stories.

Whatever the rights and wrongs and whether due diligence did its job the club’s fortunes are now quite squarely in Jason and Andrew’s hands. Watching ATAW I recall Jason speaking to the massed gathering at the victory parade stating promotion was just the start. Well I’m pretty sure relegation wasn’t part of any continuous improvement plan and given our current side they may need to dig deep to bring in the players we need to avoid the drop. Go down again and it will be the final straw for many fans and pretty unforgivable on the owners.

A deafening silence from the owners,whether they accept it or not we are in a crisis{which could turn into an existential one}We need strong leadership ,this is where you show your mettle.

Spent a lot of driving time today thinking much the same. All well and good when things are going well but I don’t think the current situation was in the 3/5/10 year plan.

What do you want them to say? Do you want a drunk up post after a couple bottles of red telling us what great custodians they are and that without them we are copulated?

Yes nothing says leadership like issuing a statement after a loss to say “this could turn into an existential crisis”. Very normal behaviour.
