But he said nobody was knocking on his door enquiring about the club….
he also said he has enquiries about the club all the time
so that’s clear….

two games in we are one deep in all areas and 5 sat at the back to protect a really shit keeper, our only available striker playing, permacrock is crocked (the one we offered a new deal to!!)
This is the end game folks…..

We need more than a new keeper Les, we need at least two strikers (O’Neill is Miller – time will prove this) Jarvis KDT nowhere near the club. Listening to Cox worries me. He kept Green on even though he was physically sick, he admits he has no one on the bench to change matches he needs strikers/flair players but with injuries now may change his plans.
Crisis after one game and people say calm down…… this position isn’t one game in the making it is result of the state the club is in. The state of the chairmanship.
Just look the ground the dust on the seats, the blocked drains, the bombed out car park, the tatty flags, the empty seats, the state of the pitch,
But as UTI/Swann say – its fans not coming in that will relegate us

I see the issue as goals. Defence looks OK and midfield is Ok. We do lack spark/creativity in there. It’s the attack that worries me – as it stands now I see a 4-4-1-1 at best. Loft getting isolated then dropping deep to pick the ball up and not very long after casting a forlorn figure. A la last season.
Without a foil for loft we will lack shots on target – a massive achilles heel for us last season.

The squad is full of committed guys who will keep going. What this means is our heads won’t drop at 2-0 down. If we don’t supplement the squad with some flair and attacking prowess then its going to be a struggle.
Pitch looks to be a bit mottled and will be threadbare fairly soon. The region is blessed with the best turf in the land but no doubt Swann acquired some during his wilko shelf stacking days 😂

My thinking would be if we had sold 750 I would publicise a push to a 1,000. The fact that the club is not naming any figures would make that unlikely. I hope it is near the 750 mark but we this season appears to be a holding pattern prior to liquidation.

And how many ‘fans not customers’ are left do you reckon? With the current wrecking ball management probably around half what we would expect. They’ve done nothing to entice people back – it’s almost as if they have other plans for the football club

Skeleton’s usually come with backbones/Spine. Our team has neither

Pure coincidence fans forum comes out just before press release transfer embargo (club didn’t bother breaking the news).
Part of conditions maybe to assure fans about the viability of the club and getting a voice?
Highly unlikely that the vice like grip will be loosened.
Kind of like applying for the Diversity Officer’s role in the Third Reich
I fear it will only be speculation and the truth may never come out. Possibly the stadium naming rights, the transfer of assets, some loan arrangement with Coolsilk. Whatever it is its just another sad mark on the history of the club,
If we cannot bring anybody in (and I don’t know the details behind it) then we are relegated.
Time for a statement from the club

I think the fans will be to blame no matter what, when the COVID train finally runs out of steam
I agree that Morecambe isn’t the best example I just happened across their ticket sales and how they discount the tickets the more they sell and thought that is so far away from our set up.

Sales ate clearly dire otherwise you would use the data to generate more interest. I can see our attendances being low compared to others and Cox with his tactics and no decent strikers in the club coupled with the chairman’s view that this young squad will be great 3 years into a 1 year contract just makes this club more of a laughing stock.
Morecambe sold over 1000 so would be interesting to see where we are compared to them

Looking through the postings on the boards of other clubs you will see that even amongst the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth of those with lowly league positions and ones who were relegated – there are still a few little lights in the darkness to be observed.
We do not. We have zilch.
Are we now the most toxic of all league clubs? Has the message run through the leagues like wildfire – “Sign for anybody you fancy – but don’t touch Scunny with a barge pole?”BTW, I missed the chairman on RH. I must assume that he will have said at least a few things to lift the hearts of supporters.
He didn’t say anything to lift supporters. Basically talked about Jem and that he should not have said those things, bascially blamed him for the run of bad results after he came out and derided some of his fellow pros for not trying – same as Cox did – blamed COVID – and more importantly continued the narrative of ‘my main aim is to keep the football club alive…’ The narrative being set for the club to be close to being non-existent – if we look at all those other clubs that went under and the narrative of the chairmen in charge at the time it looks to be following the same playbook – now this could be entirely coincidental and everything behind the scenes is far from desperate but we are where we are for a reason.

Hope you’re right WG but this feels like a well trodden route that seldom works.

No no no no, have we learnt nothing about these types. You’re trying to find positives when non exist. This isn’t a Sharp, Keogh, Hooper pluck. 180 apps in 11 yrs as a pro. Not many goals.
Its just another weak front option.

UTI – what do you think gave Beestin the licence to press forward to put chances away? It certainly wasn’t Spence – Cox doesn’t see them working together at all – in fact I think he’s quite ambivalent with Spence (hence the new signing)
Karacan marshalling the back 4 and sitting in front of them Beestin became more assured to press forward. But that really wasn’t the agenda you were going for was it……

He blamed Jem for the poor results after Morecambe – Jem is the reason Swann has a league club (maybe that irked him or delayed his flats). That wasn’t another side of the story.

Hippolyte is not a league standard footballer – far from it, like most of the squad.
How did they entice the two we signed? By saying we’ve got ‘f’ all chance of scoring. The worst forward line in the division and now no creativity in the squad with the exception of sicknote Hallam.

Morecambe have released a statement about having sold over 1,000 season tickets. For a club the size of Morecambe that is a good achievement.
From what I understand the more tickets sold the more money off the season tickets for everyone.I think we all know more about every other clubs activities than ours.
