I'd be okay with him involved in the marketing side of things but I don't want him making any footballing decisions.

Absolutely. I think the guy could be a real asset to our club, just not neccessarily on the football side of things.

It's hard to criticise the majority of work that's gone on off the field over the last few years.

Football side of things was/has been a mess -

Questionable Ricketts exit
Barrow fiasco
Newell what can you say
Hughes crazy or just plain stupid appointment
Keates most unpopular manager ever.

We need to go through this whole cathartic experience in order to rebuild the fanbase I believe. This is for the best. Total clear out, total change of mindset.

I'm not his biggest fan, but he backed the new takeover massively, fair play, and now he's fallen on his sword and getting out of Wrexham which he should have done.

It's petty and childish not to wish him well in his new endeavours.

It's quite possible he knows what's coming as regards his buddy Keates and Davies and Darlo but can't stomach it , also new CEO may have said he doesn't want him anywhere near the place as he's learned of many very bad issues surrounding his tenure . Hope we never see him again .

I wish Spencer all the best for the future and thank him for all the hard work he has done over the years. Yes lots of mistakes, and not just on the footballing side either. A few people have been upset with his decisions in the past and that has been clear to see from the outside.

I cant see him having anything to do with the new regime moving forward, and he has walked before all his football decisions are changed by the CEO. Dean Keates and Co will be gone before long and Harris didnt want to be around to see that through. I suppose it looks better on the documentary that he has resigned and done all he can do to move the club forward. He will come across as a hero, i can see it now.

He will also go from Wrexham frontman to front man of a board that own nothing. The WST will be there incase somthing goes wrong. It will be interesting to see how many of us will pay into it after a few years of private ownership.

Let's move on now and get this deal done this month, I'm kind of getting annoyed how long it is actually taking. Let's get the new CEO in and let's start seing the changes.

Why do people just look at the ‘football’ side of things? We’ve gone from training at the old colliers park to a school field. The club may have a small amount of cash in the bank, but we’re being run as a semi-professional outfit in all but name.

Chucking money away on tunnel ‘go faster’ strips and questionable coaching staff. Jonesy’s bar? Another disaster that sums up our trust years. The actual departure of Joey himself.... there’s a long list of failures off the field. It’s not all Spencer’s doing, but he’s been the biggest influence behind the scenes without doubt.

He should have nothing to do with any future decisions made on behalf of our new owners in my opinion. It will however be solely down to R and R to make that call.
