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.

Aldershot, Stockport, Hartlepool, Notts County, Torquay, Halifax and Barrow are above and better of than us at the moment or have you missed the current table. York and Chester could join that list next season.

Aldershot despite a rescinded relegation, Stockport after a few years in NLN, Torquay in NLS. There are a few more than Orient and Tranmere that have gone back up.

The football board have made poor decisions due to their total lack of knowledge and experience. In fact they struggle to fulfill the role they should be doing.

Is the Infrastructure acceptable with dirty toilets, the state of Jonsey's bar and disabled platform 2. Club membership still an admin nightmare and so it goes on. Only finance is under control at the moment but in the current position this is being jeopardised for next season.

Does anyone think SH is going to deliver Kop regeneration either?

But it is about looking forward. If we're looking for investment going forward, we need to be asking questions based on past experience. Or shall we just let them get on with it, no questions asked?

I haven't seen anyone say we should sell to any tom, dick or harry Tom. Although I'm seeing many people suggesting every potential private owner are bad news.

Or we need to consider even more recent experience or "history".
