    He can’t possibly being blindsided again!! I think he doesn’t care tbh. Provided the ship is steady he thinks he can leave it alone. How he managed to accumulate such wealth I have no idea. His only saving grace is that he is not football knowledgeble. Even that doesn’t let him off the hook, if you don’t know make sure you employ the best there is to make sure your assets are being well maintained and growing. Standing still will see you relegated.

    Watch where they are next year. And in 3 years - they'll be back and established in League 1. We're more likely to be NL, without change.

    Club needs investment in its infrastructure to enable a stable future. The sustainability aspect is great but in football it seems you have to run just to stand still.

    Accrington are perhaps a different type of a club, a community club, but if you look at what an owner with a vision, passion and a willingness to build a future can do, with that City would flourish. He doesn’t want to throw money away, but he sees himself as the guardian of the club for the next generation.

    City don’t have that, they seem to live from season to season. They can manage with a distant owner if the local management has the vision and probably the headspace to think longer term than balancing the books for the season.

    On the current trajectory I’d see the club having a difficult 24/25 season, flirting with relegation in 25/26 and falling out of the league the season after.

    There is too much apathy around the place in my opinion. The issue of the letters not being accepted is an odd one. Companies fall over themselves these days to get feedback and reviews. The optics of ignoring such a document are so poor it makes me wonder what really happened, wrong address? Staff member ignored it? Who knows, but a statement of “ok, I hear you” would have been better. Even if the document had gone straight in the recycling.
