Just on a wider level as to the state of health of the club in general.

We don't own the ground.
We don't own a training ground.
We have a half finished, badly designed stand.
We have an out of town stadium with a poor atmosphere which borders on the negative.
We appear to lack players with affinity for the town and a desire to 'play for the shirt'
There is some confusion as to 5USPORTS interest in the club beyond 'educational programmes' in China.
The fans have lost their place on the club board.
The youth team is not pulling up any trees.
The club isn't held in any great regard in the town.

There are clubs from lower leagues who understand the importance of all these things and have better set-ups than us.

Ben Robinson at Burton and Andy Holt at Accrington are good examples of chairmen joining up the dots and helping their clubs punch above their weight

Deal with all these issues one by one and implement a football philosophy across all age groups at the club and things will improve.
