It looks as though Sam has one, and is working with the Trust on getting it moving much sooner rather than later.
His predecessors have been accused of inactivity in bringing new players to the squad. Well, Sam seems to have his eye on the ball:
"The most important part of the season for squad building is the summer transfer window. This means making the biggest budget possible available to Sam Ricketts and his staff in the next 4 weeks to finalise our squad with the players who can score the goals to complement the meanest defence in the National league. Our aim is to raise as much as possible by Friday 15th June 2018 so the money is available this transfer window!"
"Manager Sam Ricketts said “I’ve made my priorities clear since I joined the club that it is goal scorers that we need to improve our chances next season. BuildTheBudget is a fabulous initiative from you, the owners of your club, to invest in helping me bring in the players that will get us the goals to make next season an entertaining and successful one”
Let the Building Begin!

I don't seem to be getting my emails, I'd better check that.
Harpooning the thread on reply one is a bit miserable but...is this a plan any different from any other year? To me it sounds like a repackaged version of the begging bowl - don't forget to not only pay up for your tickets but also slap more money on top or we won't score any goals.
I've got no beef with the Ricketts appointment but too much of what has come out from the meeting and from this is just more of the same; pay up and get another tiddly squad, just like the last three that failed.
