We are in administration without being in administration.

Problem is they are doing what they are doing in order to keep it one step from going bust so they can carry on their death spiral ownership. Managed decline to a level they are now willing or able to fund is the clear agenda. Won't be long now before some other fixed asset owned by the club is being mortgaged or sold i can see it coming because there sure are no more Adam Whartons or even Callum Brittains to sell in the near future.

If they'd not signed anyone but kept last seasons squad together i'd be confident we'd have at least 3 maybe 4 points now and still be in the cup. That might be absolving him of a lot of the blame so far but it's not he needs to buck his own ideas up pronto.

I don't know how much more writing needs putting on the wall before people realise how close this club is to going bust now.

But we wouldn't crawl over broken glass into work if we were starting a new job on more money the week after. At least that's how most footballers will see it because that's all it is to them.

There's a difference between dripping genuine info out and club propaganda to protect certain people. We've no idea which it is but it's likely one of the two and the constant 'refused to play' seems to be the standard line chucked out. I can't see anyone in their right mind actually expecting Travis to play yesterday. How long before he's tweeting 'Sonny refused to play' or 'Dom refused' ?

Because on the continuing trend of the soft under belly of players and coaches. We need to be sourcing a few more like Travis not bloody selling them.

They should make the Derby game a fans day game like v Watford the other year and it should be £10 adults £1 kids but they won't they'll price it like yesterday and we'll have 11k home fans. If that's the case it's the perfect game to make feelings known and flip the whole thing back on them.

Also noticeable were the gaps in the centre upstairs in the DE were they were charging £38 i think.

Which is pretty much what his previous clubs fans said.

Exactly the crowd i knew it would be accounting for the price rises. I know of a few who said they were not paying that much for that game against a non local rival who were in league 1 last season. 'Kind of prices you might expect against Burnley or Liverpool in the FA cup' as one guy put it. To not even hit 20k when the opposition brings seven thousand shows where we are at now this season, some awful crowds on the horizon but no more than they deserve. Taking were probably up on the Derby game last season even though there were about 2k less home fans so they'll see it as a success. They don't give a #### the Luton Arsenal fan will be seeing a bonus in his £ eyeballs.

If that's true this club is unofficially in self administered admin.

When you see young players like Sid who clearly have a bit of talent but are ambling around blowing out their arse and taking corners like that you know exactly why they've landed at a skint circus club desperate for something you can call 'potential'.

He won't get sacked he'll have to walk or engineer an exit somewhere else.

Won't be long before he's saying 'ask my Directors' just as JDT did before him and even the ultra toeing the line Tony did by the end. The press should be demanding these clowns front up and let the coach get on with coaching.

Way better than expected, should have had something but my piss is boiling at the needless get them some mins subs at the end of normal time, or near it. Seen that happen way too many times here no matter who is boss it's a recurring flaw, subs, conceded, fall apart at the end. Pig sick !

Quite a few 'consultants' who nobody ever sees or could put a face to a name i'd imagine. Alongside a few former employees still !

Doubt Coar gets anything other than free hospitality and may be expenses he's nothing more than a 'guest' director isn't he ? Kept on in an invited capacity because of his FA links but no more than someone who is there to give an opinion on something if asked. Only time hes ever opened his mouth is to defend the regime and dig at fans.

Us by 2027...

Correct everything that is and has been going on suggests the only aim here now is to keep the club one step above administration.

Not ONE football qualified or experienced football director post Waggots removal. Yes he was a poundshop version himself but at least he knew football the rest of them are just bean counters.

There should be a buzz we finished 7th last season so it's exciting to see if we can better that... 'Will Dolan have one if his unplayable early season good days' 'Will Trav have his usual first home day barnstormer, will he avoid a yellow' 'Is Batth still the rock he was last season' 'Brittain and his overlaps could be key today' 'Wonder if this new investment striker will get off the mark ?, if not there's always Weimann to come on' Can't wait........ oh hang on.... er well i wonder if these new multi nation lightweights will have enough about them to stop us getting pounded... !

It'll be Bolton we are swapping places with sooner or later.

Hyam who never misses a game ?

Because there is no 20 million to throw in to cover the cracks, no finger in the dyke manager and not ONE real football administrator in whatever void they call a boardroom. Not even a Derek Shaw. Frightening stuff.
