On the other site there was a suggestion that Mr Hughes hasn’t been attending matches recently. That’s a bit sad considering what he’s put into the club. Me, I gave the 2nd Cats at home match a swerve which is typical as it was one of only two at home we won.

Maybe difficult to watch players fighting so hard when you know you're going to sell them down the river.

David Hughes was not present on Friday, nor was his side kick Stevo. Jack was there but not David.
Stevo and Jack were in Perpignan, however I did not see David but he may have been there.

Not sure it’s ‘sell’ more like leave by the river in the hopes so itinerant bargee picks them up and goes off with them. What a revolting development this all is but I have to say even the impending collapse of the club doesn’t leave me as depressed as those first few games in 2022. What a load of old pony.

That's a pretty short exit statement. I'm not dissapointed he's gone because he has taken the club backwards. I hope someone comes in and can build us back up but sort of seems unlikely. To that end, I would hope the club has been looking for new investment for some time otherwise there is a lot of work to do if the club is to continue.

I'm guessing that the owners of Ebbsfleet are keen to take over.

Our season ended on Friday so good to know. Better late than never I suppose. I’ve seen more timely bankruptcy notices. Shambles.

I could have reworked it for him. ‘I left 3 days ago. Sort it out amongst yourselves. Ta ra’. Didn’t even put the boot into IMG. I think this is the definition of a dummy spit. Shame really but what can you do. RL is in a precarious place generally.

Women's team season isn't over.

You may have to break it to them that it has!
Seriously I think his decision is perfectly reasonable but as is often the case, the way he has gone about it seems ‘sub-optimal’ unless it’s all been professionally handled behind doors and we, the fans, simply didnt really need to be told the club had gone. Which I suppose is fine. BTW to prospective buyers. The front door key is under the mat. Milk bill has been paid until Wednesday.
