If any of you cared to listen to the Gorringe interview at the top of the main forum you’d have heard a pretty frank overview of where we are making progress. Some of you want players without the other parts. That’s like building a city full of beautiful buildings, but ah we forgot to put the roads in first. Nobody can get to work; those buildings aren’t efficient. The infrastructure of this club is 20-30 years out of date compared to where we want to be and where most of those moaning expect us to be. Do any of you seriously believe that DC is not looking for top quality players? Or perhaps they look at what we can offer them and see poor training facilities and a fanbase that spend most of their time arguing about sausage rolls and a £4 pint (despite Bristol having an average pint price above this)! Don’t see why there is a massive problem with the club sorting out the issues that have manifested for YEARS and try to make us commercially viable BEFORE we push on. DC's already suggested he's likely to be only be bringing in a goalie why would he be wasting his time looking at other positions? As a few posters have said why do we need a paid Chairman and a CEO plus a President (who I assume must get a salary from somewhere?). What's the betting Accrington, who are 8th in the table just have an owner covering those 2 (or 3) roles. If we could afford Sweeney's, Brown's & Bola's wages last season why can't we afford them this season if Commercial income is up and Harrison's transfer fee is a bonus. It seems to me DC's budget has been cut not increased if we only bring in another goalie next week, plus we've lost £750K rated Harrison. The improvements made, they cost money. £300-500k rumoured to be the pitch cost because they screwed it up last year. Accrington may have less businessmen at the top, but let’s not forget they’ve been in League 2 forever. They’ll stagnate and fail in the Champ if they were to ever get there. Or they’d hire those CEOs and presidents (as a lot of higher league clubs do) and expend so much money in one go that they forego player purchases OR spend so much on everything they aren’t sustainable and end up in administration. My comment on DC was a general one, but the playing budget probably has been cut or maintained at its level while this summer has had some of the most drastic changes the club’s ever had. EDIT: Not to mention, we float about in a sea of debt we need to pay off as, as far as i’m aware, it is racked up against the mem so any selling of the stadium would not fund a new stadium, but rather just put us back at zero.

I'm quite happy in bed with Kate Beckinsale right now tbh but it doesn't mean I don't want to upgrade my bedmate in the future.... Let's face it Kate is not exactly a spring chicken anymore!

Don’t see why there is a massive problem with the club sorting out the issues that have manifested for YEARS and try to make us commercially viable BEFORE we push on. Exactly, the problem is a contingent of fans being so impatient with lack of immediate progress under the new owners that all they can do is moan and create a negative atmosphere on here about the club and or future. Why? What will it achieve? Nothing! I for one am getting pretty sick of it, I used to come on the forum to feel excited about everything BRFC and these days most of the time I come away feeling down and slightly depressed about the state of the fan base. Improving BRFC is a massive undertaking, it's not going to happen overnight, this could be a 10 year slog. It's not fair to keep constantly moaning and criticising out owners, manager and the wider club who are trying their very best to move it forward. Why can't we just get behind them all and do what we're supposed to do..... Be supporters!!! UTG!
If its going to take 10, 15 years then fine but at least tell us.
Finding out about the UWE collapse from fan on social media, quotes such as "The landing lights are on" and giving dates for training at The Colony (which have long lapsed by the way) whilst hiding behind the evolution not revolution tagline, are things that don't really instil a lot of confidence for me.

Just hope we look to loan with the option of permanent in January if it works out.
Hope the new recruitment man has a better eye for goalkeepers than DC has shown in the past with the notable exception of Lumley who is the only 'keeper in recent years to have impressed.
Need an end to this ongoing goalkeeping saga.

The interesting part will be finding out what happens next, now the debt has reached the ground value. I don't see Wael and family as the sort of people who want to water 2-3 million down the swanny every year.
A new bar and few extra seats against the debt would be like chucking buckets of water off the Titanic.

And that is the problem: if the main spending is done on the infrastructure and funding to the team is reduced what happens if we get relegated? Can we still afford to support all these trappings in league 2 on reduced crowds? Thw playing budget should always be the first priority because that is what helps bring in the crowds and the revenue. I just don't get the spending strategy full stop. Happy to grow the debt by spending money we don't have on an office in london and a PA for the CEO (when we already have a chairman) and yet freeze/reduce the playing budget. Our bloated personnel infrastrucuture is going to be the envy of the conference the way we are going about things.

Exactly, Wael suggested these guys are not a charity in his recent interview so I can't see them supporting losses that they may not recover because debt now exceeds asset value.

So we enter another deadline week where no doubt everything will be left to the last minute, Perhaps Wael would like to go on Twentymsan show again and give us another dose of BS why we got no money now to even get players on loan other than a Goalkeeper. Why let a keeper go if we haven't got a replacement? Why couldnt we get a keeper in this week for tomorrows game? We are now on to our sixth game without a left back, when is DC going to get us prepared for a start of the season instead of playing catch up every season. Isn't Slocombe back after today's game? Anyway I'm sick of this sort of post, do you honestly think that DC isn't tirelessly trying to improve his squad with what resources that are available? It's not as easy as it ***g seems. the truth hurts doesn’t it?
