Sisyphean Task?

[Rene Artois]

We don’t have mega millionaire custodians.
We don’t have the fanbase.
We don’t have the income.
We have a wage cap.
We have a minimal squad.
We have limited ability players.

We don’t appear from what I’m reading to have ‘our’ club?

AB is definitely facing an uphill battle this season!

Let’s give him & the players breathing room and ‘forgiveness’ for not being world beaters.

How long can we continue trying to ascend the mountain carrying that huge boulder?

Surviving relegation this season will be a success!

Thought he was the new right back

You won’t see ‘Sisyphean’ on the Facebook group

Has he gone to Matlock?

[Rene Artois]

Mat Lock is the incoming Right Back from Brusheya Doormouse AFC.

We where only told yesterday that we had the fanbase.
We had a bigger average attendance than all but 3 clubs in the NL last season.
We had the income from said attendance.
We have a squad that is now deemed big enough to compete in another cup that we didn’t have to enter.
We have a wage cap that allowed us to keep Whitehall and Roberts.

Can’t really remember ever having ‘our’ club.

We are in the NL and no one should expect world beaters, what I will give is forgiveness when the team go out and put in and give 100% but end up not getting a result, unlike many a game last season when they didn’t.

We can forever carry that boulder up the mountain it’s what most football clubs do.

On surviving relegation you’ve set the bar to low, that will affect the attendance and the income, mid table would be ok but let’s push on.

We did

We had the income from said attendance.

Directors subsidising to the tune of £65k a month?

A ‘competition’ to give game time to the ‘B’ players who aren’t featuring weekly in NL games.

Those games will be better than drop of the hat behind closed doors friendlies for the ‘stiffs’

We have a wage cap that allowed us to keep Whitehall and Roberts.

the same that allows the majority of ‘supporters’ to flail our keepers and as the season progresses, a few more players, in public stocks.

The two keepers are experiencing all the fun of the fair – but only as Aunt Sally!

True – but there appears to be issues with allowing the Trust to purchase shares.

In house ‘fighting’ (directors), FC1M, Trust etc

It looks as if we will never become a community owned self sufficient entity?

We are in the NL and no one should expect world beaters

Yet people berate the ‘budgetary’ players that we have on the books.

Blood, sweat & tears and everyone is ‘happy’ – you can’t give more than your best.

We can forever carry that boulder up the mountain it’s what most football clubs do.

And yet we were possibly hours away from being a non-entity.
We can’t allow that to happen again

On surviving relegation you’ve set the bar to low, that will affect the attendance and the income, mid table would be ok but let’s push on.

I’m only saying that it’s job done if we escape relegation to the NLN – hopefully we have a solid mid table consolidating season. Something to build on for the following season.

We need to become that indescribable menace… that juggernaut.

We need to develop that unstoppable momentum and propel that rock to the top of the mountain.

[Iron-awe]

The X Men beat the Juggernaut Rene, move on mate.

[Rene Artois]

Luckily we are only playing the X1 human adversaries of our 23 opponents and not teams with (X-Men) super mutant powers… lol

We need to build up a head of steam and steamroller our opponents in to submission.

We need to create that early Tyson aura – where opponents were defeated even before they’d jumped the ropes to enter the ring.

Winning breeds winning, injects confidence and a belief.
Opponents will fear us and half the battle is won if we’ve castrated them psychologically.

Let’s go for it in every game.
Better to die by the sword than to waste away in a distant non-league field.

Let every game be a battle!
A war to be won!
