It’s a desperately sad situation. We need promotion like a hole in the...budget.

We can’t afford to apportion more costs to the youth set up, to paid admin and clerical staff because all/most monies are geared towards players and paying bills.

Once we’re in the Football League, I understand it opens up additional revenue streams from the league and Sky etc.

Im not sure why Chester are referenced so often. Because it didn't work for them to wont work for us is just nonsense.

In my example, it followed discussions with a friend who supports Chester as to how their approach has/is failing.

Yeah that's fair enough, but the way they do things means nothing to us. Im not saying we waste money but who knows what a different approach would bring.

Ask the question of 1000 fans.
Would you rather spend £60k on a CEO or on players that could get us promotion?
How many would opt for the former?

Give it Pearson. People are already suggesting he should also be coach, assistant manager and bus driver.

What kind of Chief Exec could you get for £60k? That really isn’t much for senior role in business.

I agree entirely that funds would be better spent on players although you’re bound to get the mob who believe such a position is invaluable.

Some of the world class business types on here would do the job for less than that.
