It is better to stay in SL when you are in and it is not too late for us. To do so however requires money to be spent even if it makes us break our own budget. With relegation comes a large reduction in central funding, lower attendances and having to restart from scratch. It will then take several seasons to get back up but like most we would just go back down.
The club can risk money now to gain a more secure future in SL or carry on and probably have the notoriety of doing what many have tried to do before and see us relegated.
I would also add that the loan would be easier to service in SL than the finances in the Championship.

my understanding is the club is about 4.5 million in debt this is made up of directors loans and the council loan.

The council loan is a mortgage set against land that has increased in value. A debt but a hugely positive one.

There are no real directors loans. MC is the sole owner so he can’t really be in debt to himself. That’s not to say he wouldn’t want any money back that he has forwarded the club but I suspect there is no rush as I know for a fact that it’s tiny. I think Glover is still in the mix somewhere but again it’s not huge.

The club is slimmed down with minimum debts almost certainly the lowest in SL and some championship clubs and a new revenue ground development soon to be on tap.

My guess is MC wants out and who can blame him the lack of gratitude he gets.

My guess is he aims to make the club as saleable as possible, whether that means SL or the championship. Whichever the club will look an attractive buy to any new owner.

That’s the impression I get that MC wants out. That’s just a guess ofcourse but since Chester has left I don’t think we have heard a peep from him. I still thank him for all he’s done for the club and he may once the stadium is built regather some interest to drive the club forwards. This new east stand will certainly change the shape of the club.

I know this is a bit extreme but if we were to get an investor like Koukash on board this club could radically transform on and off the field imho.

MC isn’t the sole owner.
From memory MC and JM are the joint majority shareholders.

No your guessing again,you don’t know so bloody zip it

He actually said twice that he was guessing.
And it's not your call about what someone else posts.

Careful Poptart don’t upset him he’s been on Crimewatch!

But it’s ok when he slanders everybody else?

But it’s ok when he slanders everybody else?

Not if he's telling the truth

Not sure where the slander was. Point it out If you want to make s complaint.

Give it a rest, MC will never see a penny from the club, you know exactly what I mean as unlike the village idiot I don’t think you’re stupid.

What I suspect MC wants is to create a club that is attractive to someone else. One with a decent set of finances and a good infrastructure. I don’t think supporters can ask for more. If MC wants out and he’s totally entitled to do so he will be the first Owner to pass it on in good shape since Neil Fox was a boy.
