This probably needs to go on here to make sure we get to 2,000 pages
I can remember at the time that I wasn't a fan of the 'local' option but hindsight is a wonderful thing. We would be better off having a group who purely have the clubs best interests at heart.
You have to accept that football chairmen are a different breed and at the majority of clubs you are not going to make a profit, especially at our level, unless there are development opportunities involved or you fly up the leagues.
We need to cut the ties with the land and find a model that isn't going to lead to millions of debt. We have managed it a couple of seasons. There is so much luck involved but when KT and co decide to move on we need to try and adopt an alternative approach.
Get ya buckets out!
Outside of the development the debt as long as it is just director loan is pretty irrelevant. It will only ever be paid back through redevelopment profit, lower league clubs are loss makers so it won’t ever be paid pack otherwise and will have to be written off if the owners want to offload the club.
Should the club be taken over by a group with limited finance, without the ability to fund the loses the club often makes then I’d imagine the player budget would have to be a lot more cautious and reduced than it currently is which I’m sure would go down well!.
