I think the pressure will build enough that the whole football model will change, ie there will be no more "one person in charge" scenarios.....fan participation/ownership is the way forward. Whether thats the German 50+1 model, or some hybrid model remains to be seen......

For me, a local consortium, with local people at the helm and lots more local participation is the way forward for clubs at our level.

I know you are a champion of fan ownership but don’t necessarily agree that is the way forward at the moment. It lacks overall support and a charismatic leader like Brian Lomax and Rob Marshall! If things improve dramatically on the pitch and we prove capable of maintaining our League 1 position and/or better, the enthusiasm this incites might be more realistic for this type of initiative. At the moment the support is split and all over the place with opinions. Best to let things settle down, see who is made Manager and how we shape up for L2? I can recall two opportunities; season 64/65 in the old Div 2 in our second season in L2 with crowds over 12000 was an opportunity to progress with a New Stadium. Second in my view was June 2020 when most of us where in unison after a miraculous promotion. Both wasted opportunities?
