Orient and Tranmere have gone back up but the list of those in a similar position to us or worse is much longer. Chesterfield, Aldershot, Stockport, York City, Hartlepool, Hereford, Darlington, Notts County, Chester, Torquay, Halifax or if you go back further Workington, Barrow and Southport. God knows where Bury will be next season.
The current business model for most club owners is simple. Spend large amounts of unsustainable money to bring success in the short term if things go well. Load debt on to the club and the sell to someone else. This process is then repeated until the club goes pop or loses its ground like Coventry or us. |
It is, but it doesn't have to be here. It would be up to the board to ensure that the club is protected. As you say we've got nothing left to take asset-wise, there's no quick-buck to make.
However the club is openly obstructive to investment, and leaky as a teabag regarding information. Any prospective investor would be made to engage with it.
In addition to this many fans have lost faith with the board, for many reason not just results on the pitch. We've had football fortune (and possibly spent it) with liitle prospect of anymore in the near future. Fans have started to drift-away and we're in our worst position since relegation.
Our prospects are bleak, but that doesn't mean throwing fan-ownership (in theory rather than practice at this time) in the bin. However those with a total grip on power are loath to the prospect of any type of evolution.
