Genuine question, in what respect please (for someone who wasn't there) - hostile, impatient, too cold to get any atmosphere going ?

The goals we conceded were really sloppy and serious questions have to be asked about Adam Smith. A keeper has to dominate his box at set pieces but Smith seems to panic everytime.
We have a real quality on the wings and Tom had a massive advantage over Shane Mc but we never used him enough. Our best chances came from wide but we just kept lobbing it forward on to Delaneys head, bread and butter. Mayor at left back on Saturday reminded me of Barky at right back and there is a sttong smell of Bentley ball returning.
The atmosphere was horrible, the optimistic talk about promotion has turned in to "lets stick together" in a couple of weeks.
It looks like Ged was the only manager we could afford but can the club afford to go down? We had the best manager in the league and now we have a novice in charge. Ged has great experience and has worked his way up but seems to have been given the job on the basis of a good interview on Radio Lancs. I want it to work, we need it to work but something just doesn't feel right.
The Owner out campaign needs to begin now, Derek papered over the cracks and his leaving has shown is what a mess the club could quickly find itself in again.

All of the above really. Very flat, a bit down and some hostility. Adam Smith shouted back at the fans which isn't great to see and every mistake was met with a jeer. It was like all the hope has been knocked out of us and a bit of realism has sst in.

Whether its through the Trust or whoever, we need to be getting the message out that MFC is up for sale and we are a bunch worth taking under a rich benefactor's wing. MFC might never make huge profits but with a little investment for a multi-millionnaire they could be on to a good thing.

I broadly agree with all of your post, but an alternative to the money for a manager comment, may be by reducing what we pay Ged, compared to Derek, is it frees up some cash for an extra player in January? Or even, to keep someone who we're at risk of losing? For example, McKiernan is only 21, so if he moved to another club in England, we'd get compensation. But, if he moved to Scotland, he'd go for nothing.
Fortunately, there won't be any Scottish managers, who know anything about our players...

Wouldn't surprise me if DA comes calling in January via Burnley for our loanee Michael Mellon with the carrot of offering him SPL football so that he's in the home country shop window for his Scotland opportunities.

This problem started when PMG didn't do due diligence on Diego Lemos when he thought he was selling his shareholding to him in 2017 ish.
Ever since that date the 80% shareholding has been held by several people of dubious character and Jason is just the latest.
He has already let us drop into EFL2 and could easily let us drop back into the Vanarama rather than sell his shares at a price that loses him money.
It would be much appreciated if the local board could update us on any potential/possible new owners and whether we can discount Saab Holdings. Carlisle United fans were kept informed about the takeover/sale of their club during the process so why do we have to endure an embargo/blackout of the sale of our club ?

Security that is so heavy handed and a Head of Match day security who prowls around the dug out area looking to potential trouble.....
