At least he is paying you for your company now

Yes it has thinned out a bit from -

PMG
Graham Hodgson
Rod
Peter Cross
Mark Mace
David Robinson
Steve Wright
Brian Fagan
Mark Dixon
Graham Howse
Angela Lumb

...and of course Nigel Adams, David Brockbank, Gary taylor, Mike Hinchcliffe and the Althams have been and gone since

Add Neil Marsdin to that list too Mark who was Club and Company Secretary

Yes, I was just naming Directors though, even back to Dave Derham


Huge saving on tea and coffee anyway

Aye 8 1/2 years now

Sure there is a post missing on here?

Well done Rod Taylor. Great words at half time about our owners. People might not like them for whatever reasons but there would not be a club without them.

Not looking to spar, but others might have come in For now though, we take the baton and run. COYS.

Not sure if that is aimed at me AD, or a generalisation to all?
I agree, and have had my say, but will, to use another old saying, sleep with one eye open.
Brilliant result today.

To all, it's far worse on the Facebook Fans Group to be fair.

One footy club might not be enough for our owners....

Or

Are we the next MK Dons?

I think this needs another bump and for people to read the article.

Wouldn't put it past them.

A worrying read there Berlin, the second comment sets alarm bells ringing but who knows what goes on behind closed doors?
I seriously don't think many lower league sides are truly safe from going out of business as things stand, the league set up is all wrong.

But Goldring... ...revealed Warriors had already switched focus to developing a "multi-sport" facility at Sixways, including its own football club.

“I think it is important to give some background, being transparent with the supporters of the rugby club is something Jason and I believe in,” said Goldring.

“We want to serve our community as best we can and believe that is done through multi-sport with rugby at the heart of it.

“We have always wanted to bring in other sports with football being a big part of it because we want to reach out to that community. That’s our focus more than bringing in a first team that is in whatever tier of the league system

I really don't know what that means? Surely it is against League rules for an owner to have an interest in more than one club? Paul Scholes had to sell his shares in then still non-League Salford in order to become manager at Oldham, so how can they own us and any other team in Worcester?

Either they are confident of off-loading us quickly or... any other options? Why have talks with Worcester City while still owning us? Some of that transparency up north please guys.

Scholes interest in Salford was babysat and the moment it went tits up at Oldham, he was back the next day.

Yes, but he still had to get rid of his interest in Salford no matter how short his tenure.

They have a large stadium that they will see as a resource. If they can get a football team playing there as well as a RU team, they will improve their income. You can see why they want to do so because they are businessmen chasing a pound note.

Putting all that aside, where does it leave us? Could they relocate our club like MK Dons, taking our league status to Worcester and rebranding the club? Is a sale imminent and they are planning their next step?

Wonder why we've heard nothing from the owners about the appointment of DA...

No words of welcome or any indication about whether he will be given some money to negotiate new signings come January. Maybe they have told him that money is available now that JB has gone but that they do not want to make it public until DA starts to 'wheel and deal' come the January transfer window.

Bit worrying this. Does anyone know how MK Don's were allowed to steal Wimbledon's league spot? Was it just because they were homeless for a good ten years?
