New owners are always a risk, just ask Birmingham City, Blackpool and Leeds fans. I don't think the risk of changing the owner would be worth it at the moment. Mistakes have been made, no doubt, however it's how you learn from those mistakes that matter.  Ray is a successful businessman, and you don't get into a position like that without learning from mistakes. I just hope he learns from them quickly enough (which I have faith, as the first step is admitting mistakes were made, which he has done)

Who would buy us? There's nothing attractive about Notts right now.

I think we need to pay respect to our existing owners, as they have invested and given us a level of success, albeit surviving with league one but that is good enough from my point of view. It takes time to get that forward momentum, until we lack more off the field than I will debate to stand by them or not. For me at this stage it shouldn't even be a question.

It's been interesting to watch this topic, I thought some of the fans with their 'Trew' views would have come on to state their case but it's been pretty unanimous we need to move forward on the field.

If the club was to be placed on the market, I know I would be fearful about what the future held for Notts.

This is only worthy of discussion if and when somebody comes forward who has the finances and the desire... added to the right business model to take this club forward...

Without that... there is no point... whilst mistakes have been made... our current Chairman and board are IMO making progress...

Would new owners be able to drive Notts forward? Is it time for the Trews to sell up if this season doesn't measure well in terms if success?

The more I read, the more I feel we need a fresh direction and a board without a split fan base. I appreciate what the Trews have done but I don't see how they will move us forward. If we don't see success on the field, I do feel they should weigh this up themselves because they are likely unable to make back what they have put in.

Time for a frank and serious discussion about the current owners. Discuss people!

 

Yes lets discuss.  

 

Firstly, there needs to be a buyer for there to be a seller.  The days are gone where a rich local businessman wants to buy or get involved in a Football League Club.   Unless of course you one of the Big Clubs that bounce back and forth between the Championship and the Premier League.

 

Secondly, i will decide when i vacate office and not outside influences despite as you suggest a split fan base.  I set myself targets when i took on this Football Club and when these have been achieved and fulfilled, i will consider moving on and not  before then.

 

 

There is a new owner waiting in the wings he has been a passionate Notts fan for over 50 years.

I'm just waiting to win the lottery.

Actually to tell the truth I don't do the lottery so there is no chance but I am quite happy with our owners at the moment.

Quite frankly, I'm sure all of us in the cold light of day realise this and are grateful for stability.
