Re: New Manager
Can I be the first to mention that two of our most successful managers ever were also called Alan.

Re: New Manager
Don't see why it isn't real, Mel knows Robbie Simpson, manager at Chelmsford well.

Re: Summer 2024 squad tracker
Possibly the least surprising departure so far given how he was treated last season. We need to wait for what Alan Julian says on Monday about the squad but it would be encouraging if he could persuade some of his ex colleagues to stay. After all if we think he is the right man because of his contac...

Re: Summer 2024 squad tracker
A few clubs are now publishing their retained lists. I see Bath city had six players on loan last season which now return to their home clubs and are releasing four others. Of their nine contracted players one is on the transfer list. I wonder if we will go down the loan route from the off next seas...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24
I would point out that the new owners have invested £1.4M in the club which is a very substantial amount for this level. Jacques pointed out at the time that the board had been looking for investment for some time and had plenty of approaches which had no substance to them. The Ramayana investor gro...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24
I should have also added that the 3G pitch was viewed as key to making the club financially sustainable. This was the club’s plan before the new investors came on the scene but had not been possible due to the pandemic and soaring costs of borrowing. The new owners agreed to fund the 3G themselves b...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24
Personal view here, but if there had been no viable new investment then the club had the option to significantly downsize on costs but this would not have been easy to execute and would almost certainly have led to relegation, maybe more than one, loss of management, players, volunteers, staff etc. ...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24
Again we are all guessing and only will be able to get a feel for the budget once we see a few signings. If we are indeed back to the Gary Mc playing budget levels then remember that this was not sustainable and that is why we needed new investors in the first place. In the meantime basic overhead c...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24
I agree the Trust should at least say something about the current situation even if they can't say much. The club could and should be bringing them on side if the position is not as bad as many fear ( or even if it is, the Trust may be able to help in some way). What limited fan engagement we have h...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24
It now seems to be coming clear that something is seriously wrong at the club. Lack of an explanation is making a mockery of the stated aim to brings fans closer than ever to the club via membership. Managing Director says he’s very excited about the plans for next season building on the the platfo...
