    Some mega poor decisions have been made this season which are unacceptable.

    Always taking the easy route and I have to question the appointment of Bowyer myself. It lack ambition and seemed like a mates club appointment.

    Today performance was an embarrassment for a manager. Everything was wrong from the start. Clarke and Butterfield out wide! Seriously?

    Are we going to keep blaming Edin?

    It's disappointing! Mega disappointing!

    Sell your imaginary high spec Merc and buy the club. Simples.

    One thing you got wrong. These problems are at least two years old. It started under Edin with Stuart, yet lovely harmless, I knew nothing was going on, Stefan is not mentioned.

    I don't doubt he has helped us to survive this season on the financial side ( though he will probably get some of /back in some shape or way for many years to come but the lack of communication is so so bad, remind you of the Edin times?

    6000 fans put £500 in and buy a large share of the club, 8000 would make them the major shareholder.

    Edin isn't to blame for hiring Hopkin and Bowyer mate.

    And then what? Where's the required investment coming from? By my reckoning, with the players still under contract next season, we are looking at another 1 or 2 million loss to fund next season.

    Fan owned clubs are great in theory, but only with a level playing field. With the stupid levels of money being thrown at the game, serious money is required even at our level.

    Even if you could find your 6000 fans, they'd just end up getting abuse from everyone else when it all goes wrong.

    The answer, at the moment, needs to be Stefan stepping up to the mark.

    Why do people come on this board and do this. What is the point of "Gordon Gibb"

    Are you looking for some quotes, a bit of self importance or a genuine point to make?

    What are you deeming Fan Owned though? The clubs too big for the kind of proper fan ownership you do see in non-league at times. There is just too much riding on it and it's too complicated for proper fan ownership. It's why you see so many of these fan owned clubs switch to a different setup once they reach a certain level (or if they were bought out while above that level quickly switch). They either go back to fully private ownership, the fans having their ownership dilute to a minority ownership or the fans input being simply to vote in a president or a board every few years.

    With the first two you lose any real say and in the final one you are giving someone the ability to run the club as they feel fit and you can't really do anything until their term is up. You wouldn't get a say on the manager for example

    The problem is though. Is he willing to do it?

    January makes me question. All I heard is 2m hole. When it came to stepping up we end up with sh&te like Billy Clarke.

    Its not the management its the pile of crap we have as a playing squad.

    Absolutely garbage the lot of them. Changing ownership ain't going to stop this ship from sinking.

    I believe the club is firmly up for sale with bells and whistles on top.
