    A question. Do we have a Financial Director or Chief Accountant.....or even an accountant? I had assumed, possibly wrongly, that Rhodes was also doing that role

    This is good to hear Eric, that’s giving me more confidence. I’m gonna give him my optimism and backing. I’ll change my vote from ‘uncertain’ to ‘yes’

    If you speak to him let him know I pass on my congratulations and hope he can do a great job of getting us out of this pit we are in.

    I’m happy Rhodes is stepping aside, club needs stability and good leadership and if he’s ready for the challenge then it’s only fair as a fan I give him backing and give him the chance to do a good job. :)

    Exactly with his announcement I would have expected at least a summary of why he is the right appointment and include something about how he hopes to take the club forward, future plans / strategy.
    As usual - we as stakeholders are mushroom managed.

    And where has that got us?! 20th in League Two with the worst squad we’ve possibly ever had.

    That’s not a positive. Far from it. It’s far far worse that he’s already been overseeing this demise. Some were ready to accept the appointment to give him the chance but you’re telling us he’s already been running us into non-league and he’s given the gig permanently?!

    Best of luck to the lad, same age as me and no doubt a dream job I won’t knock him for taking it. But I do knock the club for going down the route of someone with no experience in the role and I’d say probably not to many contacts in the game. We’ve sleep walked into oblivion these last 3 years, now was the time for an experienced campaigner with knowledge of turning failing businesses around. Hope he proves us doubters wrong and he can happily shove it down our throats, but I have massive doubts.

    Very little experience and the experience he's had has seen the club go from bad to worse.

    Fills me with very little confidence, stinks of a rat leaving a sinking ship and handing the reigns over to the cabin boy.

    I'd be more than happy if there's still a football league club to support come next summer at this rate.

    Who said I was happy. What I said was let us see how he does instead of a closed mind. I would prefer someone with ambition who probably sees himself in the future much higher than us. Than someone just wanting an extra pay day before retirement

    He admitted that he'd accept the job. That's enough.

    I'm going to give him a go. Young, new methods and ideas potentially to bring to the table.

    The BIG question is has Rhodes left the club or still involved someway? He usually likes to meddle so will be surprised if he has gone completely

    I wonder if he and Stuart will continue to lie to the fans and be caught out as we’ve seen so far this season? Vaughan, budget, ambitions, etc
