I know Simpson wants to stay as manager but NO WINS in the last 12 games nearly equals last years catastrophic run in and this team has been playing together longer. We need a new manager and a new set of players for next season being put in place as soon as possible. Saying that I will be there saturday still supporting the boys in the last game of the season.

Mike - Good points.  I think most of us would like the club in the fans' control, but the key problem is the budget.  How can the members club/supporters raise large chunks of money.

Whether you play at Imperial Fields, groundshare with someone else or play on Figges Marsh, you still need to raise money.  And not just for the playing budget.  In our division, I am under the impression that the playing budgets range from a little bit of pocket money right up to 2.5k-3k a week.  So to be competitive, you would have to think that £1000 a week playing budget should be a minimum requirement.  I don't have any idea of any other running costs.

Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas for raising 10s of thousands of pounds every year.
