Not disagreeing with GY about some of the other sides of investment, but purely on the playing side FK did continue to throw money in (or put back in what he received via sales etc, if you like) to let managers have who they wanted. He, as Chairman, is not responsible for who is signed, that is down...

I’ve said elsewhere that I think that the Kassam era falls into two clear parts. The first involved the three main positives that Isaac so succinctly listed, all of which were the resolution of problems of other peoples making and came about despite some obstacles placed in his way by those with que...

Re:

I find it amazing that a man who has been ultimately responsible for the club going down three divisions and out of the league can recieve any support whatsoever. I'm struggling to think of other businesses where the owner would get exonerated for persistent failure, baffling mangerial decisions an...

So when will the stadium change hands

The simple answer is when Firoz is ready to sell and Merry is ready to buy, but what do we know of the factors influencing each of these elements? Is it a matter of both wanting to do the deal but specific practical elements needing to be solved (eg Merry raising the funds, FK hanging on to get the ...

We should not underestimate the Conference, it is littered with ex-league clubs who thought they could go straight back up. Even Carlisle, with all the momentum they generated after their takeover only finished 3rd and got up through the playoffs. The bookies may have us as favourites, but I dont th...

Re:

Can't disagree with any of that other than the way it ends but that might be the discussion database doing the trimming. . It is, as I've just gone back in to replace the missing text and it has only accepted some of the revised message too. All I was going to say was that the timing was the worst ...

A number of discussion points raised on here, so for what it is worth: Staying up - In the end it all came down to just 3 points. Personally, I feel that our chances of clawing those extra few points would have been greater by sticking with Patto than bringing in Smith. Patto had been around all sea...

Re:

hope tom winters gets the chance to show us what he can do then, and won't end up being another that slipped through the net. It is up to him whether he does or not isn't it? 3 months is enough to show you have got the right attitude, his wages will not be great so let's see.. I see that Sills has ...

What are we getting ourselves into: Last day of the season Forest Green pull off a win over Stevenage to claw their way out of the bottom two places, leaving Tamworth and Scarborough for the drop... Then the owner of canvey Island wanders off and they submit their resignation repreiving Tamworth. Th...

I have to admit to not wanting to be repreived because of a club folding or being docked points for getting into financial difficulties (Wrexham, Rotherham) or for minor rule infringements (Altrincham, Bury), but the prospect of Boston (&amp Particularly their management duo) being kicked out of...

Re:

[quote=&quotSnake&quot]“ What is certain is that a lot of the negative anti-Kassam stuff being put out by people like Jon Murray won’t be helping, because as Mally says he does like to get emotional when attacked, and that’s not going to help the deal - and let’s face it, he’s not exactly pu...

Re:

Oops, sorry, like Mally I hadn't noticed the expansion of the division (or whatever it is called). So do extra clubs come up or do the bottom few get reprieved? I've got friends who live near Altrincham (poor dears) ... This summer two have gone down from the Conference and two each have come up fr...

This issue has actually been bouncing around on non-league forums for a while. I think it is worth remembering that politics is far more rife in non-league circles than in the comfy surroundings of the Football League, so suddenly issues that have always seemed trivial now become more relevent, witn...
