We seem to be back to where we were in 1976. There must be some Hollywood titans out there who can see our potential; after all, 2 stars (whom I've never heard of) settled on Wrexham, a club with a limited fanbase.

Aye, they may have a limited fan base, but they have straight access to the land of milk and honey.

I do not know what problem 2 Hollywood stars, American based VC firms, Saudi investment fixes.

 

For me we are in the mess we are in because we have not recruited properly on the footballing side or in the footballing operations department. We have spent money badly. That is the problem.

 

More money does not fix that problem. Especially when that money comes from somewhere that focuses on ROI.

 

The fix to our issues is easy. Do better with the money we have.

Certainly if we were to go down the ManCity and Newcastle route, we would have lost the soul of our club.

And is that a good or bad thing? And why not us then?

That was done when Murray bailed out to Whyte

Good or bad is entirely up to your viewpoint. I'm merely explaining why they are in a far more 'investable' position than we are.

Cards on the table, I'd have taken the Atlantic league.

Because we can't get promoted to the EPL?

We do need to somehow exit the SPL. The other lot are streaking away from us financially and we are unlikely to get investment of the Wrexham type unless we are in a better league.
