New owners manifesto

by 10539.4 Miles Away » 10 Jul 2014 12:05

Firstly, apologies if it has been done on other threads (probably has in scattered posts), I'm trying to get a bit of a feel for what we as fans actually prioritise, so what 3 things would you most like our new owners, whoever they may turn out to be, to list as priorities in their opening statement to fans?

For me its

1) Long term Commitment to the Academy
2) Financial stability
3) Open dialogue with supporters

Have listed some options above, if you specify other then please go ahead and suggest them

PS: Feel free to move if this isn't the right place but we're a little thin on team news at the moment so I thought it may inspire some discussion

1) Hoops that go all the way round.

The rest is window-dressing.

I think financial stability and improving the first XI would naturally lead to several others options listed. Improving on last year should lead to challenging for promotion, which would assist in improving the finances, which could then be invested into Capital expansion of the ground/facilities.

I actually was thinking what would your 3 be when I did the options, I got 2 right, fair play, you caught me with number 3.

Interesting consensus on the top 2 results so far, not often you see this many reading fans agree on something.
