Absolutely agree Monkey Hanger. We cant expect the goodwill of folk like Andy Holt, Peter Marsden et al forever. At some point this club has to start generating its own funds and AH is the man to begin that process.

He has the funds to ensure we dont get our trousers ripped down with regards to transfers so as and when we see real fees coming in the club could really transform.

A few years ago we got good money for Procter and compo for Coleman - on the back of abysmal for Ryan, Grant, Gornell and others. That money disappeared into the black hole of debt, late payments and court/solicitor costs. Hopefully those days are behind us now, and a self sufficient club, along with the occasional cup run, transfer fees AND the backing of an ambitious owner, mean that we can look forward to a healthier future.

All those things also mean that the club will, at some point, be able to stop fire fighting, dealing with miniscule things, and start to develop. A healthier bank account and money coming in may mean being able to actually develop a long term business plan and to begin the task of taking back the town.

I read this forum with dismay sometimes, when the gripes are about something and nothing. We are on the cusp of greatness (for us) and the good times could be about to roll. I say let things be because there would be nowt worse than disheartening a good man like AH over triviality
