Five percent of the Danny Ward fee sold back to Liverpool

If true there's nothing wrong with this except in hindsight. We got £100k, and Ward may never have moved.

And if you are just flirting with the play offs, there is always the danger that in some seasons there is a flirtation with relegation eg 2019-20. All the evidence points to fans ownership being limited at National League Level. So fans ownership at a club like Wrexham means probably staying at our level and if we did get promoted , I say again how on earth could we compete with the budgets in the football league ?

So it means ultimate shortish term failure and therefore we have to wage war against the likes of Harris, Lindsay Jones , and Pete Coaches who have a political ideology dedicated to socialist ownership and the club playing in an independent Wales - ie not in the English leagues.

Yep, fans ownership cant pay the bills let alone fund a competitive team.

Keeping the myth of the club being run financially sound. After all, that's all they had going for them.

I was slated at the time, by many on here for being outspoken.

In hindsight it makes so much sense, anyone who supports fan ownership go and start your own club while the rest of us can have ours back.

Seeing as Uncle Pete and Co have destroyed a once proud youth system then God knows. Davies at Brighton was probably our last hope. Oh, and before any of the villagers come out and trot the party line, my reply would be how much we have spunked away on utter dross, year in, year out.

Those in charge of JCP Wrexham should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.


Honestly, would a board of bricklayers have done any worse?

Cup run but we know Keates doesn't like those.

It was claimed that it was just the on the field failure with the financial management the star turn. I have repeated several times in my view the club was, and is poorly run, both on and off the field.

I believe unless there is at least some outside involvement / funding all that will happen is more of the same because the "model" as some call it is flawed
