I have been perusing the meltdown on DATM, most of which is either ridiculously blind optimism, or ludicrously shortsighted pessimism. However I do find myself agreeing, not entirely, but to a point, with our very own Art, when he suggests that Town are now at a crossroads. Stick or twist so to speak. Not entirely sure what Mr Hoyle’s long term plans for the club are. As wealthy as he is, I can understand if he is now feeling enough is enough. Behind the scenes he has clearly financed a huge turn around in the infrastructure of the club, which, being the successful businessman that he is, comes as no great surprise. But on the football side of things, I think it’s quite possible, he may be no more qualified than any one of us, or maybe even some of those over on the other site god forbid. It wouldn’t surprise me if he really was actively putting feelers out for another to take it on, but can’t find anyone better placed than he is right now. We are never going to be a full capacity supported club. There just isn’t that sporting population in our town. So unless somebody is going to throw a kings ransom at it, or somebody is going to come along with a genius footballing brain, I think we are where we are for the moment, until the day comes when we finally lose our grip. We are a bit like the Championship version of Burnley right now, spending little, and hoping what we have got will keep us where we are. To be honest, if playing more competitively in a lower league is what our finances dictate, then, it pains me to say it, but……..so be it!

I'M NO PESSIMIST.....JUST AN OPTIMIST WITH EXPERIENCE !!
