There are some of our fans who are simply happy to have a football club to support and see it as a success that we haven't gone the same way as Telford, Wrexham, Hereford, Chester, etc. I'm not sure why that's controversial or seen as a jibe. How about because the post below is total b******s , and just a dig at fans for no apparent reason and the point I made was if You want to have a dig at fellow town fans how about i call You anti - town fans im not sure why that's controversial either , it happened It’s a culture and belief that far too many of our fans also hold - that we’re succeeding by merely existing.

At least it's not a 'project' bank-rolled by 'Johnny Big Banana' new foreign owners.
It certainly worked splendidly for Birmingham City this last season.

Drum roll please....... A jibe about town fans.

How many times do we have to hear the "anti town fan" phrase for pity's sake.
It's embarrassing.

So what if there is a mixture of positives and negatives, no one should be demeaning anyone else just because they have a different view after all.

I'm prepared to accept 'Johnny Big Banana's' money, but not his control of our destiny. My belief is that Liam is there to ensure we look sustainable and saleable and confirm the credibility of any money man to the board before our club's ownership is handed over.

Regarding Maroši, I get the feeling that a really good, but expensive, goalkeeper bailing you out of trouble is a bit of a luxury to Hurst. I get the impression he would rather have a good, well organised, defence who also have a chance of them scoring.

At best all I’ve seen is the belief that new owners gives something to be optimistic about where there currently is nothing.

Who thinks that? No one, its nonsense. What it may bring about however, is a change from doing next to nothing at the arse end of League One season after season playing crap football and scoring next to no goals. But we won't know until the club moves on.

But we won't know until the club moves on. Is the transfer market usually busy at this time of the season ? Once again I have no idea why that is relevant to the topic being discussed. I am not aware of anyone who has stated that new owners or new investment would bring about "instant success". I am aware however, of our record at this level since our return some ten years or so ago.

Ah! but crucially, 'Johnny Big Banana' money always comes with control. No such thing as a free lunch.

Last season was an absolute slog and I can’t say I enjoyed much of it bar some of the gallows humour to keep spirits up.
I go to football games to catch up with friends, enjoy watching football being played properly by a hardworking side that tries. I very much doubt once Hurst has assembled his squad we will get anything less than that.
It’s not fun in January to watch your team in the freezing cold on a Tuesday night turn up and throw the towel in to the bigger teams who haven’t got out of third gear. I don’t think fans are expecting too much to actually pay to watch something entertaining which last season we certainly weren’t.
Do I expect promotion? No. Do I expect a finish in the playoffs? No. Do I expect to see a side with character that I can be proud to watch week in week out? Yes.
Last season was not a squad I was proud to call my team.
