Any idea who they are playing in the final? Surely not another club we used to go toe to toe with who has left us for dead whilst we're still flogging key rings.

Oxford did Portsmouth on penalties to face Wycombe at an empty Wembley

I have it on good authority Chris wilder applied for the Wrexham job when Brian Little was sacked

Hope Oxford win, but credit to both clubs.

Wycombe now run and owned by the Couhig family, Rob, wife and son, together with the two trust members who got the club in to financial problems and then brokered a deal and kept their places on the Board ! Not sure how much the Couhig family know about football so may not end well.

Meanwhile Chesterfield are going in the opposite direction having been bankrupted under private ownership for the last few years. They are being taken over by the clubs community arm with the help of local councils.

So because your not sure what they know about football it may not end well but he has done this for over 30 years, so chesterfield have been bankrupted under private ownership but you haven’t mentioned the new owners are loaning money (which needs to be paid back) with people similar to ourselves who know nothing about running a business nevermind a football club. 1million pound loan to acquire the club!

Hypocrisy..... just seems nobody can do better than a useless supporters trust!

it is plain and simple, the current ownership model has not worked, it is a noble idea but put into practice it has led to the demise of a once well respected football club, to replace the current board with other well meaning Wrexham supporters may slow down the slide but the end result will be the same.
Fan ownership is a fantastic idea, a brilliant way of adhering fans to the club but it does not guarantee expertise and that clearly is what we have not what we have and from what has been posted in here over the last few months it is blatantly obvious that expertise is very low and the football club has been burdened with political dogma deliberately put in place to protect the system that is bleeding the club dry, we need expertise in all departments, we will not, unfortunately, recieve that from other well meaning Wrexham fans with no equity or business knowledge, the club needs an investor/s to run the business side of the club who would then employ a management team to run the footballing side, a new board led by investors with a token fans involvement in the board, i personally (like many others) will not return till there is change

It must take you an eternity to cross a road, although I imagine in the end you probably decide it's not worth the risk.

fan ownership without the appropriate expertise results in failure
