The process the club are going through now was badly needed, it was something I hoped for, now it's happening, all we can do is hope it leads to a positive future for the club.
Spot on Dave.
Upon reading the title of the thread to myself and saying it out loud really quickly i actually did think it was a book title penned by Alan Knill and referring to his squad of the 2014 relegation season................
Try it. Works for me............. =D
As i've said a million times before. IMO the club and Thea have been badly let down by grown men who found the going too much. I accept that they have put cash in (at least i think they have) but they should have just been honest and admitted that things had gone tits up and they couldn't cope anymore or put any more money in. Thea has asked for help because she is struggling. The fans are aware of this and it is called communication. Thea is a golden woman and is worth ten of the other board members. Not because she put in more cash but because she comes across as an honest and thoroughly decent and humble human being.
Mr K. Thomas is in now to help her and although i so wished when i first saw his name that it was Mr Kenny Thomas, the excellent early 90's crooning pop superstar :Oops: .
I was hoping he was going to come out with an official club statement reading, "Look, it's a tough gig i've walked into - perhaps tougher than when i did the Bath Moles club in front of 12 people when i was starting out but i've gotta get the best of you. You're support has been out of this world, so outstanding baby. I'm thinking about your love, errrrr i mean club".
Mr Thomas is in situ now to look at what needs to be done and like someone else said, it looks for all intents and purposes that he is there to steady things up whilst new investors are sought. So still leaves the club in limbo but i'm glad for one that Thea has asked for help and that the snakes and ladders game that has been played on a board only full of snakes, and the downward spiral partly created by lots of people having their heads up their arses can now hopefully be reversed.
Don't worry, the ladders have arrived.
