    Depends whether Stefan is writing it off as a gift or loan. The former no debt, the latter yes we do, but hopefully low or no interest.

    The biggest thing that needs to change is the WINNING MENTALITY as you say but that's on and off the pitch.

    6 defeats in a row and some find that acceptable.

    Bowyer needs some wins before the end of the season.

    Fans needs to wanting more and demanding success.

    Rupp needs to show he wants to own this club by spending vasts amounts of money to help Bowyer.

    If Todd goes then we know it's going difficult season again next season.

    How do those off the pitch have any input into the players getting a winning mentality they are the only ones who can change our results, Bowyer has said he's had motivational speakers in giving positive thoughts to the squad.

    6 defeats on the trot is unacceptable (one of our managers it the past got sacked for that) although he had the team in the top 6, I'm not saying Bowyer should go by the way.

    I'm sure Bowyer echo's that comment.

    Stefan can only be judged once the season finishes and Bowyer's told Stefan & Julian who he wants to sign.

    Why do you hold Todd in such high regards he's Bowyer's assistant.

    I’m just glad we lost to Blackburn at home last season to get that horrible unbeaten at home tag off our backs, we’ve kicked in since then.

    Bowyer needs to have a look at his full squad and give the youngsters a chance to see who he wants to keep for next season including players like Joe Riley and Connor Wood.

    Depending upon how much of our shitstorm can be sorted this Summer - Expectations need to be in line with that.
    The whole of the Management will have their work cut out, and much as I'd like us to be challenging at the top - I'd rather see a plan in progress built on a solid platform, than false hope embedded in sand. No matter what our budget is ....... Let's spend it wisely this time.

    As in the January transfer window it's a very fluid situation. Fortunately during the summer the options are much greater. You might be able to have your targets but that doesn't necessarily translate into getting them. Of course much will depend on who and how many of the contracted players wish to move elsewhere. That may not be decided until the season is long over.

    Todd is Bowyers number 2. You know how football works mate.

    If we're saying to Bowyer you can't have your number 2 but you can have Drury then f@ck me are you in that much of a mess.

    We need Bowyer to have his team he likes around him.

    Where has it been said Todd won't be here, we have too much invested in Bowyer to piss him off by not letting him keep his own number two.

    Don’t think we can pretend that it hasn’t been v
    and nowhere does it say Todd won’t be here. We have to many coaches but he won’t be the one to go providing he accepts his contract

    If we are moving out most of the current squad - which needs to happen and we bring in 12-14 new players accustomed to the rigours of Division4/Non-League football the odds are stacked massively that Bowyer can return us to League 1 in one season ?. Parky made mistakes with some players before finding the right combination. So you recruit 14 but 7 will likely be mistakes.

    I think % wise the chance of Bowyer sorting all this out in less than 12 weeks and us blitzing the fourth tier to blazes is probably 20:80 against ? But anything less than automatic promotion will be failure. I reiterate my support for him as person but ultimately he is very likely not the man to lead us out of yet another "Dark Age". That man may yet to be born ! ?

    Why would going up via the play offs be a failure?
