Would like to reiterate that. A wholehearted player who did his best during a very difficult period for the club. There’s ability there and we’ve seen it at times including in the games over the festive period.

The type of defender Keith Hill might have made into a saleable asset. Right club, wrong era.

Some more reasons why we have to get a structure in place that includes people who understand the football side of running a club properly. It’s simply not been good enough as illustrated by the way we’ve increased playing budgets, recruited in bulk for no reason and not been able to recognise the basic requirements to build a solid, cost effective squad.

Then we can come to raising other revenues and working better with supporters and the town. Despite the protestations of some, it’s obvious how far we fall short but hopefully we are approaching a time to address this properly and not make excuses.

Whatever happens has to be the best thing for the football club and with the right people in the right positions who can take the club forward.

Everyone involved should be able to recognise that.

Yeah, the details about the plans going forward will be interesting. It’s clear we need a better skillset off the field to take the club forward and this will hopefully enable the stability to allow those changes to happen.

The fantastic work of the Trust and others is hard to measure, thanks to all involved. Let’s hope for a positive outcome because it could potentially change the club forever.

And if it does, please god we don’t hear people saying we should be paying Cian Hayes and others whatever it costs!

Aye, selective memory is a regular feature around here.

Yep, it’s always been about getting the balance right. The biggest issue is when we do it in dangerous situations that have led to goals. Unfortunately some use negative results to bolster their arguments about style of play/individuals and disappear when a scrappy win doesn’t suit that narrative.

It’s all about being fair and saying what we see. And not changing our tune.

For what it’s worth, I think if McNulty had used Keohane and Henderson more effectively in January and February, we’d be seriously looking at the playoffs now. That’s been his biggest mistake, but everyone makes them.

Without wanting to be repetitive, we are far from perfect and the manager has made plenty of mistakes, but explain how we sack a manager after three successive wins just because we might not like how often we overplay at the back?

Worth noting it’s until the end of the season so we mustn’t have any issues around completing our fixtures.

Agreed, we should look to mix up the way we play which, as seen by the goals at Eastleigh, is our most effective way of playing. More options, better results.

So just go long every time then?

If people are going to dislike the way a team plays, can we at least be consistent about it?

It needs clarification. Like most things.

What if other clubs are questioning why they should play games and risk injuries if any points gained become null and void?

Yes, but what if any member club indicated a doubt they would complete their fixtures?

The National League stance is still to be established.

If a member club is stating there are doubts over completing the current season, at what stage do they step in/suspend games/clarify the situation?

Integrity of the competition being paramount.

Next season is a whole different conversation.

Another good question, James.

Here’s another one, why was it allowed to play out like this?

Narratives are often hidden in plain sight.

Some good questions in there.

It’s quite remarkable that people aren’t seeing the obvious.

Should we be playing games if there is ANY doubt we will complete the season? There were some people who posted about Bury in the summer of 2019 who had strong views on this.

They. F’n. Know.
