    If the Americans have any intention of taking over the club they need to make it known sharpish. Letting things drag on and impacting next seasons plans will start to piss people off. Time to either put up or pull out..... something like that saying anyway

    Was always going to happen but very depressing seeing it in black and white and realising what it means
    Our worst season in the clubs history on the back of last year our second worse season in the clubs history
    Not even managing the playoffs in the 3rd Division
    A completely clueless owner who is tearing our great club appart bit by bit
    His "first choice" manager who has actually managed to take us backwards
    Our new CEO managing to completely dismantle our season ticket sales
    Another year in this ****ty league with little prospect of going up under the current regime

    Apologies for being so depressing but I'm really struggling to see how we get out of this any time soon
    SD Desperately needs to sell up asap

    there's not a chance in hell of us being sold now. why would anyone even consider it? any buyer would immediately have to start paying all the club wages, running costs, maintenance etc., with zero income and no guarantee of any income next season, if that even happens! we're screwed here mind, i can see Donald shutting up shop, and the Americans saying no thankyou. nightmare scenario.

    The next few weeks are critical. Any takeover will need to be done before August to give us a chance to build a decent squad.

    God this is a mess.

    I really hope FPP still have the ownership appetite. It needs to happen soon as I really fear for the future.

    this is what happens when you let turkeys vote on Christmas. still think the EFL should have stopped all of their leagues, so to maintain a level playing field.

    I'm not going into detail because I've learned my lesson about being drawn into a Q&A saga ...

    ... but the information I've previously posted has been confirmed today.

    I'm not attention seeking either, I've more than enough on my plate at the moment.

    You've posted quite a lot mate, and very uplifting it's been too. Is it that FPP's position is unchanged?

    Once the sale is confirmed I’d be delighted to renew my season card, games played behind closed doors or not. I really want to give the club my money but not with these clowns in charge.... I don’t think for a minute I’d be on my own with this thinking.

    So surely he will have to adjust his selling price to that of a league one club!
    Or like I think he will do is hang in there and give it one last try to get promotion.
    It’s grim tbh.

    Pretty bleak.

    I just hope there's something positive around the corner.

    This is my worry . The last two summers have been a complete farce.
    If we are to get new owners it needs to be soon or we will be playing catch up again.

    We should be protesting his asking price and demand the sale be carried out with transparency.

    Before its mentioned no this isn't 'mag behavior' nor will it put off buyers.

    Well my favourite ever post over the road was by you and it was about the hope and excitement for a fantastic future. So I hope it’s something along the lines of that.

    The worry is what FPP's position was. It's been widely thought that they didn't have the appetite for taking the club on in this league, especially when Donald has proven himself inept (they'll need someone to run it and he could have been the ideal man if it had worked out better). If they aren't going to move until we're in the championship you'd worry, because I don't see Donald having the ability, funds or even the desire to get us there
