Anyone could see it wasn’t working 10 games in. No point in Mark holding his hand up now.

It wasn’t but when we won 4 games in a relatively short period it did start working and we looked on course that form to survive, at that point it looked like MASH and the club had fixed the issues. For whatever reason that ended up being temporary and wasn’t sustained though in reality we were very close to getting out of jail but for a few close losses and golden points.

I.hope to god they have not signed any of these players coming in before the takeover and Powell coming in.

I can’t imagine the Darryl Powell appointment happened over night, Matt Ellis has been working at the club as an associate director (I’m sure someone will point out if I’m wrong) for a couple of months, you’d think MS will have run future signings in front of DP? Won’t he?

He was on the advisory board rather than associate director. But your point is well made.

He joined back in June too, found this:

The club is also delighted to welcome Matthew to their Advisory Board during this intervening period. This board provides invaluable work for the club largely behind the scenes, and Matthew will add to these efforts particularly in the areas of fan engagement and player recruitment

Very interesting read but I couldn’t help but think of a similar interview with the great John Pearman, but this does feel very different and exciting. If this level of investment does come off, I really can’t see how IMG criteria could keep us out. The game is too weak to exclude any owner pumping these kind of funds into the game.
