    That’s not at all what I’m saying
    More it seems some justify why they aren’t going as they’re in a personal war with the allams when the allams don’t give a **** about you

    Our attendances were pitiful even when we were pushing for the top 6 at Xmas time/NY

    Not sure I agree with you on this. Wednesday/Sunderland/Leeds and many more had big drop offs of attendances when poorly run or in a lower division.

    Thanks for giving me a good laugh. Rebuilding? Is that what you call, at best, managed decline?

    Can't see how they'd get their money back if they don't rebuild and return to the championship.

    Then they had assets to sell and parachute money coming in to offset some of the debt.

    This time they've got sweet **** all and they're still out of pocket.

    The trouble is you may be crediting them with more awareness than they actually have. Enob particularly shows himself to have a total lack of self-awareness. Unless Papa is actually passing on advice and, importantly, making sure Son carries out the instructions, then the club is going nowhere but down, imho.

    I'm not saying they will get their money back lol

    If they think we have enough to come straight back up without investment in a rebuild then they'll be in for a shock!

    Stating what I think they need to do doesn't mean I think they will do it....

    .... After all, who am I to tell them how to run their business? haha.

    Peter Taylor’s interview was very good. Love that fella. We’ve been spoilt with some decent football managers in the past.

    If take him back for a season or two to stabilise things in a flash. Has the experience with youth to bring them on.

    With a couple of EXPERIENCED additions at the level he'd turn the ship around.

    Might not be pretty mind.

    There'll be about 10,000 on the gate the first match after the allams sell up, whatever the division.

    Whether they keep coming back depends on the ambition of the new regime and performances, but that first game they're gone there'll be a massive jump in attendance.

    Mark my words.

    Gates more than doubled as soon as Pearson took over from 3.5k under lloyd Why not 10k now?

    Read the post properly. Whether they keep coming back will depend....

    ... But once the stench is gone there'll be loads wanting to celebrate that first game.

    There was absolutely loads of tourists at that game. You could just tell in the stands with lots of unfamiliar faces struggling with seat numbering. I know of at least 3 Large groups of teenage girls that went just to see Mason Mount Play. There’s a lot of stay away fans I know that didn’t go. So, based on what I saw in the South stand it is probably a fair representation of what was happening in the other 3 stands. It’s also fair to say the vast majority of the crowd for that match weren’t familiar with the stadium as they had never been before.

    Does it matter though? There's a market for football in this fair City which isn't being catered for under current ownership.

    I read the post properly, and made no comment as to whether 'they'll' keep coming back. I very much doubt when/if Allam goes the next regime's first match will attract 10,000 more.
