I think we need to be looking at 10mil+ with add ons.

I think the lack of takeover/investment news is proof of SLs commitment to making sure the club is in good hands going forward. He won't want all his hard work undone by some hit and run organisation. The building blocks are in place for the club to progress but I think Steve probably thinks he's gone as far as he can but I'm sure he wants to see the club in the Prem. One things for sure, he doesn't think Jon has the ability or the inclination to take it on. Jon was just his ears at the club when he was appointed chairman. Jons absence and silence is proof of his lack of interest. As an aside, I would like to see Scott Davidson back on the board if he was interested , but I've no idea if he is, although he is involved around the club with the ex players initiative.

Me neither but I just want it sorted quickly. NP said doing business early but we're approaching mid Jan already. If it takes another 2 weeks to get someone in then another month to get them team wise with us, we are looking at March ffs.

I'll go and pick NW up if he'll come here.

I think we were in 3rd division south (ask your dad) when I started watching mid 50s. That's almost 70 years of football and after this season, which may be my last, we could be back in exactly the same place. What progress! You young uns are expecting far too much.

Too late now but imagine getting promoted playing "gamesmanship football", as opposed to the brilliant stuff we have watched over the last few years. Oh....wait...

Yeah . The powerful strong fast Antoine has disappeared. The present version seems to have his mind elsewhere..Although he has started scoring again which is a good sign.

Agree with this Spud. I've been saying for ages that our passing is lazy. Watch next time we play it square across the back line. More often than not the pass goes behind the player forcing him onto the back foot. Our players always seem to be facing our goal when they receive the ball. It's why our play seems so slow and negative imo.

We have an owner looking to sell and a chairman whose got no interest. There are 2 problems at the very top.

Our dead ball taking in general is poor, including throw ins. I think if we had a penalty we would play it back to Max!

Didn't he land in Bahamas or Bermuda when he fell?

I always thought Steves plan was to hand the reins to Jon and for him to take us forward (Or backward).

LJ said he needed 3 windows when he arrived to rebuild the team. Its what they all say. It buys them time if it goes pear shaped.

So Nige wants his wing backs to score more goals so his master plan is to play his goal scorers there. Brilliant.

Agree with most of this but even you must agree that the club has now stalled where it matters most, on the pitch. Even when we win, I don't walk away from the ground feeling entertained or exited by what I've seen. I've met and spoken to all the Lansdown family in recent years and they usually come across as very enthusiastic about the club and its future. However, the silence from the top is deafening at the moment and although the appointment of Phil Alexander is welcome, just where are the chairman and the owner. I find that quite worrying.

Fair point but I meant recently at cb.

King has made some costly mistakes too but he's 1st name on the teamsheet..

An Ashton Martin?

Seasons greetings all. Peace and love, and points and pints.

Looks to me to be new deals for JD and Han. At least they get more time on the pitch.

Not wishing to ruin any ones Christmas , but what is the latest on the gas new stadium? It's all gone quiet again.

Not if we have the summer Olympics in the winter and then the winter Olympics in the summ........oh wait!

Unfortunately the club had reached base camp on Everest that night but we thought we had reached the summit and we didn't keep going. We were dining at the top table yes, but only as guests. Some top people at the club began believing the media hype. The slide in the new year was soul destroying. A taste of what might have been was quickly lost back in the real world of league football. It was a great night though.

It's unlikely but this could be our last "gap" year. ?

It refers to half our squad. Not Doing Anything.
