Unless the board budgeted thinking some of the extra income might have been available to spend on the team and then Jason changed his mind.

Take the points deduction early in the season and see what happened worst will be we end up back in the National League which is we have to be self sufficient is probably where we need to be.

Sadly, unless new owners come in who are able to pump in lots of money, I think it's inevitable that some of the additional jobs will be made redundant this Summer so their wages can be diverted to players which is far more important. We survived previously without the extra off-the-field management/support jobs, and I think that may have to be the sacrifice to put a team of players together this Summer capable of competing. It wouldn't surprise me if the Board are holding back from making such decisions to see what, if anything, happens with the ownership situation.
