Nah! Off to The Schooner!
Probs walk in along the river from Newcastle with my lad if he can blag the afternoon off.
Shite stadium to watch football in, and we’ll be sent over to the far side too.
Bound to lose, so not looking forward to it.

Don’t often subscribe to Rene’s ramblings, but as I said on another thread, Dean is a non league manager. And not even proven at NLP & NLN level.
To expect him to come in and turn five years of failings around in less than half a season was a ridiculous ask. Hilton appointed him poste haste after taking over, and in hindsight that looks like folly.
Hilton himself has no previous experience of L2/NL club ownership, so perhaps it shouldn’t come as any real surprise.
I guess it’s rather like expecting your local garage to service a Typhoon Fighter.
Out of their depth, and insufficient time to learn!

Thought Matt had posted that the takeover wasn’t due for completion until the end of May?

Well my pension has gone in!

Dunno about anyone else but I’d much rather the new owner did his talking via the team on the pitch rather than through hypothetical ideas on the future of the club.
Come May, once the dust has settled on this strange season, the chairman and his staff can sit down and begin to put forward a strategy.
I can wait another 4-6 weeks.

If he wanted fans to contribute why not start with a manager who’s not useless and can learn about more than one formation? play entertaining football and get them through the gate is the first step to getting them interested – so many wasted opportunities with large followings. Owner and manager both come from part time football and it shows
Agree with the last sentence, which explains why he didn’t think Dean was useless.
Hilton has been proactive inasmuch as he’s thrown a lot of resources at try to keep the club in this division. Can’t fault the effort even if the decision making has been questionable.
He’s done the same with the 1899 “incentive”. Huge ask to expect 1899 individuals to fork out £1,899 and it looks like it’s not going to bring in the revenue required to completely buy out the previous owner.
Is there a Plan B?

I’d go after my original choice of Craig Elliot currently performing miracles at Buxton in the NLN.
Isn’t that basically what we did when we brought in Dean?
