My take on the current situation is that the Club Board feel partly culpable in terms of lack of forwards by not providing financial support through the Summer transfer window and therefore will give this in the January window, allowing GC to remain in post at least until the end of the season...

I'd imagine that the Club and GC learnt some very harsh lessons from the poor summer transfer window and I'd hope that there are players already lined up, to the point of almost certainty of joining, very early in January. If this is the case, I'd also be very surprised if dismissal took place...

With Kevin presumably returning to the youth set up.

What was his response?

I've been reflecting on Julian Tagg's podcast comment that we can't afford to sack the manager. I don't believe that, given the reserves that the Trust holds. I accept that it would be a terrible waste of money, if it was used for this purpose, but on occasions, with financial reserves, needs...

No, it needs circa 200 Trust Members to seek a SGM. The rule is 50, or 5% of the membership, whichever is the greater.

It feels like this. Project 6000 was promoted as the key to League 1 sustainability, however it looks as if this was seriously misplaced. Average crowds exceeded this last season and for most of the current season, but we still seem to be some way from being sustainable at league 1 level. The...

Section 21 of the Trust rules states "50 members or 5% of the membership, whichever is the greater".

The only resolution to vote on relates to the proposed change of auditor for the annual accounts.

I thought that project 6000 was promoted to provide sustainable league 1 football, which I assumed meant mid table security. Last season and this, supporters provided the 6000 average, but we now hear that Julian Tagg's assessment at the start of this season was that it would be a struggle (j...

I'm happy for the questions to be submitted but I'd hope that Julian Tagg or Nick Hawker would have the nous to realise that these are the issues that need comment at the AGM, but perhaps, to be on the safe side, they may need a nudge.

Yes, I have read the AGM and attended them in the past. The agenda will allow both Julian Tagg and Nick Hawker the opportunity to reflect on the past year. My post was to suggest that if they've got any insight to the current feelings of supporters, they will, consider the issues that I've...

I'd have thought that Saturday's Trust AGM is a perfect opportunity for both Trust and Club Board representatives to clearly explain 1. What went wrong during the transfer window that left us light in our forward options 2. Following GC's attendance at the Club Board meeting this week, what...

It seems to me that by the end of this week, we will have clarity on GC's position. We know that he is due to attend a Club Board meeting this week, because he indicated this in his post match interview yesterday. It seems to me that the Club Board has only two possible actions which are...

That's not strictly true. There's nothing to stop like minded individuals with similar agendas to stand for annual election to the Trust Board and if their manifestos gain democratic traction, they could effect change. Similarly, it change is sought, there's nothing to stop a resolution being...

Looking at the Trust accounts that were recently circulated, there is circa £900,000 in their reserves that I assume could be called upon by the Clun in the event of an emergency. Between the Club and Trust, I'd anticipate that short term access to money isnt a problem.

Kev's part of the current problem. As Assistant Manager, I'd expect him to have the gumption to tell GC in very clear terms where things are going wrong at the moment and put forward a solution. The same goes for Perks and the match analysis team. Of course, this may be happening, in which case...

I've been reflecting on GC's recent post match interviews where he has made the observation that we haven't suddenly become a poor team after being top of the league at the start of the season. This may be correct and we have had bad luck with injuries and poor referee decisions. However, with...

Football Focus had an interesting segment today regarding Stockport and their manager. He had been very successful before he took over at Stockport, with regular promotions at non league level. If we do start looking for a new manager, perhaps we should headhunt successful non league managers...

Before taking a view on GC's future, I'd really like to know who fouled up during the transfer window that left us so bereft of forwards. If GC and the management team were responsible, from my perspective, their position is becoming untenable. If it was the Club Board, they have no option but...
