League status is nice and is a reward to all those who toiled for decades to achieve it. However I 'm sure all those people would rather us have a club to try again with, rather than one that refused to throw in the towel and folded with ridiculously small debts again.
Maybe it's overkill, maybe PM was just trying scare tactics as did the two previous Chairmen over about 7 successive seasons but there must be an element of truth behind it or why say it?
No doubt the AGM tonight will shed some light on it "don't worry, it's fine. But it is true we need more through the gates".

From a personal point of view I'd rather we stayed in the league but we did it honestly and without gambling our future. We may have the lowest budget in the league on around 500k but even this is too high. Announce to the world that next season will be fought out with our youth team on a budget of 50p. Let the world know that this is the future for 4th tier football because of the strangulation of the game at PL level.
I'd sooner back a team of plucky kids trying hard to finish 22nd than a team of paid professionals under achieving. Invoke the spirit of all those who have gone before and do it on our terms, not trying to keep up with those who have more money than us
