Have you got no ambition what is the point of following a club if you don't want them to progress ffs.



We need to progress the Club off the field to match our on the field success then we may be in a position to look at getting into the Top 6 consistently in the coming years. Maybe that's what Statto's getting at.

Spot on Wolf.

Fildes - I am not saying that I do not want to go up through the divisions and play at a higher level. It would be great if we could make Football League, but what I am saying is that if a takeover is completed, I do not want the new owners make predictions such as we will be in the Football League within two years. That for me would be plain stupid. By all means, let us aim for the stars, but let us be realistic.

I would rather new owners come in and say, we want to get into the Football League, but more importantly we want to make the club bigger, stronger and run correctly in every area first. We want to the Youth System to forge closer links with the main club and want local businesses and companies to share and be a part of our continued success. However, I do not want owners coming in and gambling our future and it being left to us supporters to pick up the pieces if they leave when they realised that we are not in the Championship within four years.

Me personnaly wouldn't mind getting promoted to league football even if it meant going back down again. Becoming a yoyo club will lead to stability look at the baggies.



So it has worked for the Baggies. What about Blackburn Rovers? Or even Blackpool and Bradford City ? Charlton Athletic (who used to be the model of a stable club), Portsmouth or Wigan Athletic?

All have these club play in the third level of English football having previously been promoted. Some of them have been hours or days away from closing down (Bradford and Portsmouth). Some have unpopular owners (Blackburn, Blackpool and Charlton). Please tell me how they have provided the model of stability?

Non-league is littered with clubs who have spent beyond their means. Droylsden, Farsley Celtic, Hinckley United, Ilkeston (more than once), Northwich Victoria, Scarborough and Stafford Rangers to name just a few, who chased the dream of playing at higher levels. Would I want to be in their positions now? No thank you.

My ambition is set at one season at a time. I want us to end the upcoming season having survived in the National League again. If we can finish in the top 15 and get 60 points or more, then fantastic. Maybe I have set the bar too low, but that is just my aim. It may be the aim of Liam and the club to finish in the top half for this season and then aim for the play-offs the season after. I dont know.

Re: Rumor a takeover


I will give my vote to Statto.

Any rise though the leagues has to be based on solid foundation and backed with steady growth otherwise it is pointless.

Cant see the point of a brief bit of success followed by bankruptcy or relegation to levels below your starting point.
