I have this sneaky feeling that the current directors see our natural level as NLN… Just as Wharton’s mob saw it as League Two.

Ridiculous statement Alky. Even by your standards.

Because?

I don’t believe there is a football club in the country that wishes it were in a lower league

But you know better of course.

No NI he “ thinks “ he knows better but as you point out the reality is entirely different.

Give him a break, conspiracy theories are in the alcazar DNA.

Thanks Deerey.
But I’m yet to see an argument refuting my thoughts, just “don’t be daft”.
Anyone else remember the playoff final, and the two directors… “That’s torn it”.
But OF COURSE, no director would EVER wish us into a cheaper league… would they???

Why on Earth would they want us to go down to a league with lower revenue, with attendances dropping, potential sponsor loss, the potential for semi-pro status and hindered ability to get to the revenues we can get to now? Yes, that would mean lower player wages, but we’d not get the other benefits and have higher running costs on things like the stadium relative to the other teams there.

Not me. Care to elaborate?

But that needs them to “speculate to accumulate”, something I don’t remember this club doing, or at least, doing well.
Grabbing the first offer for a promising player?
Not stretching the budget to sign a promising player, who went on to be worth £millions?
Accepting old seats as part of a transfer deal?
Directors coming forward announcing that work done was a loan and can I have that transfer cash?
None of that fills me with the idea that we AREN’T satisfied being a big fish in a little pond.
But you happy clappers go on turning a blind eye.

See, you probably do remember, but don’t want to. It doesn’t fit your agenda.
End of the Iron vs Millwall playoff final after we won 3-2, to put us back in the Championship, which we’d quickly dropped out of two years previous, due to the then directors deliberately dismantling the team.
One director was overheard saying to another, “That’s torn it”.
Of course, in your world, it didn’t mean, “Oh no back to the costs of the Championship, I might actually have to put my hand in my pocket, instead of being a freeloader”.
But hey, what do I know?

Lol, why are you so mistrusting and think something else is going on when it probably isn’t?

I’m not remotely aware that happened, if it actually did! I was too busy celebrating the following week to even notice.
