Theres absolutely no doubt we will get relagated and I'm far from looking forward to it
Well Mike.....I agree with you too....

It is totally shambolic

Or maybe you are seeing through the spin.
How many people have left the club this season apart from 4 Managers,CEO, Commercial Manager ,Assistant Managers,Physio,Directors, Trust Members
Ady was rewarded for achieving the impossible with his P45
I think he would have stayed with a reduced budget but it was made clear that minimal investment was going to be made.
Casson promised us a Rolls Royce and is leaving us with a Trabant.
The plan is to make people dispondent and that way he can carry on remodeling the club without opposition!!!
Who are the remaining Directors that are part of the appointment BN of the Manager?

Signing players from national league and above doesn't automatically mean that they will be more successful than lower league players.

Ashley Grimes anyone ?

"We currently have half a match day squad signed. Hope signings are already lined up as opposed to picking from the truckload of triallists likely to appear in the next few weeks" -- Quote direct from the Macclesfield forum on the 24th June last year ! Just saying.

But they did have a manager in place who knew what he was doing. Unlike this season, though, as I see he's moved on (to Shrewsbury). They, like us, are currently manager-less.
It all comes 'round again.

Yes they had a Manager who had been there for 5 years was experienced and had football contacts ,were as we are looking for someone without experience of this league.
Remember when Paul Ogden left it was stated that Grant Holt would use his football contacts to help us recruit
I can see him getting the job
