Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

My take on this is quite simple. When it came to it and providing Mel the funding to invest in the squad and cement a play-off place last season there was none. The “owners” don’t have any money and are a pair of chancers. Mel has probably sussed this and despite the PR offensive with the ridiculou...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Another bemusing club statement only leading to speculation as to the reasons why. As they say, Friday evening always a good time to bury bad news. I would have thought Paul Tisdale might have afforded Mel some protection. Obviously not. The end of season collapse may be the reason or maybe Mel deci...

Re: Other NLS News

Just looking at their forum. There is a new chairman and board with Mark Anderson handing over the reins and his shareholding. But not any major new investment to talk of.

Re: Beveree
