It was only a matter of time when you consider the WST had lost thousands of fans and with the pandemic.

The myth that the 'club was well run off the field' has been blown apart in recent years. I'd assumed that penny had dropped with all but the lager club massive.

Well run clubs don't have to go begging for secret loans or not have anywhere decent to train. Or plan for a training ground with no money to pay for it. Or appoint managers like Hughes and Keates and Barrow and Mills and allow them to run riot.
A badly managed/run club will always be reflected on the pitch.

Look back at where we've finished in the league under the WST and come back and tell me that's a well run football club. The only time we were competitive, truly, was with a Moss/Saunders squad and very briefly under Ricketts and they couldn't even keep hold of him for one season.

When the takeover was voted for there were attempts to rewrite history from some pro wst lunatics who had dropped their WST forever stance like a hot potato when they realised the club was fcked if it carried on as is.

So they attempted to rewrite history on here but it was easily seen for what it was straight away and many have crawled back under their wst beach towels.

Anyway, now that I've put things straight lets move on.
I think we could claim to be competitive 2018/19 when a win at Orient would have seen us as champions. However there are serious questions to be asked in relation to financials and ,as you know, i welcome the takeover. My point has always been that I simply wanted Fans ownership to work but not ever at the cost of my club and not ever if those running it fail. I agree with WrexhamO's questions but can also imagine that many business's not just football are facing financial issues as a result of covid. History should never be re-written but that of course works both ways.
