No I don't think so - maybe it's not be related

Yes the other two are existing shareholders. I somehow doubt the club or the new investors will want to reveal what went on at the end of last season in any detail but rather concentrate on the future. However, it is a legitimate question why the Petruzzos' relationship broke down with the very investors they brought in to finance the club. And indeed why they couldn't have been removed earlier as they clearly were the blockage to any new investment. The lack of real fan engagement during the last year has no doubt been an unwanted by-product of the investor breakdown and I hope the club can now rebuild some of the damage done. A bit of openness won't go amiss.

We don't know what level of commitment these changes will bring. It would be great shame if we didn't retain our NLS presence after the hard work that must have gone into negotiating this new deal but sadly it is too late to make any changes to the squad and we will have to go with what we have. Will we see Gray and Roberts against Welling?

Ahh yes - I see that now. So Painswick JSD Limited is probably the vehicle through which the new funds have come then.

I really like Alan J and I hope he is given a chance.

I do wonder though if Alan Dowson may return some time in the future - even if it is short term to help out?

And I wonder if RightMove will start sponsoring us or perhaps the ground will become "The RightMove Beveree"

Alan needs 12 more games to hit 1000 as a manager.

I'm pretty sure Scott Forbes quit as chairman and sold most of his shares in Rightmove years ago - I don't think he has any involvement now.

I'm all for sticking with Jules. A lot of managers might have walked away given the increasingly difficult circumstances this season but his loyalty and commitment are to be applauded. When he's able to field a team he actually wants to we look bright, positive and attacking. If he wants to stay we should bite his arm off and not revert to tired old lags from yesteryear.

This is his latest job.

Not necessarily, this might have been the vehicle to acquire the Petruzzos' shares in Ramayana. We don't know how the acquisition was structured until filings hit Companies House.
