I think most of us want a positive outcome, another poster has his views and is not spreading panic. Any outcome is viable at the moment with Martin involved. We await any sort of news and as time goes by and getting closer to 12th July, my confidence in this takeover diminishes. Please, do not attack posters opinions, far too much of that on this forum!?

Let me explain Stewart… you made a comment about Stan, Kevin and John getting on with doing their jobs. I think they’re doing a fantastic job. RM had appointed Bond, Sol, MM and an over the hill, disinterested Phil Brown to be our managers precipitating a relentless decline. One more appointment like those and our decline would have continued. Stan came in and we appointed a CEO and he instigated a structured process to identify and recruit the excellent coaching and recruitment team that stabilised the situation and continue to stabilise a very unstable club. I’d go as far as to say that the job they’ve done is up there in importance with the terrific effort of Paul Sturrock back in the day. Now, if as we all hope a new owner is found and we turn the page to a bright new future it is possible that new owner is Kimura. They have a football consultant who is a local legend, was a fantastic player for us, a multiple promotion winning manager, coach to our national team and an all round good bloke. He has over his long and illustrious career fulfilled the roles Stan, Kevin and John now undertake for us. Some might argue we’re already a bit top heavy on the management side for a small National League set up. This will be even more apparent if ‘Spud’ comes on board and there maybe a thought that not everyone is still required. I hope that the current team in its entirety is given the chance to show us what they can do having worked through such a difficult and turbulent time. I summarised this by posting ‘I hope they still have jobs’. Ie after the takeover. I wake up today to be accused of spreading fear and I’m unworthy to call myself a supporter. I think you may have completely got the wrong end of the stick Stewart.

Yes let's just wallow in misery only talking about painfully-dragging takeovers and embargos. It's nice to have the illusion of being a normal Club and, you know, just talking about the footballing side which has always been overshadowed

There is nothing else to talk about. We don't know who in the last years squad is staying, or going, we have been linked to zero players, there are zero rumours, we don't know if the players will get paid on Friday, and if not, will they walk, or find other clubs (Who could blame them).

We also don't know if we do manage to survive, will we be shopping in Waitrose, or Romford Market.
