The offer from the consortium is dead and Raj is within his rights of course to refuse it, but I think it would be helpful if he explained what the plan now is long term

1. He's had a change of hear and intends to pump money into the club and make a serious within reason go of the getting back in the league
2. He's still actively looking to sell and no more investment will be made until then
3. he will add funds to the club in the form of debt and expect that fully repaid if he ever sells in the future
4. He wants a minority partner who can help boost funding

Think that covers most of the options--I suspect the answer is between 2 and 3 which isn't good for us, but would be great to have a straight answer on intentions

There is a good chance that oldham and Chesterfield go up this year, this would based on who is likely going down make us arguably the best supported team in the league (mayeb York, ROchdale and if they go up Scunthorpe come close)
No reason at all we shouldnt be at the top of this league next year with basic competency and some investments--something thats been sadly lacking the last couple of years

It appears to be your plan…no surprise there then.

He be looking to make more money out of the club with season tickets sales, sponsorship, TNT sports and the cup competitions. Then hopefully will invest it correctly into his MBPF (my back pocket fund) bbolt

He can't shy away now and complain about no one is interested in the club.....

I dont think its unreasonable to ask for some public clarification of the medium/long term plans

So the consortium have walked away, who's still interested? And crucially as has been said before who else is interested enough to make a bid?

One thing for certain if the Trust statement is true and he won't give full disclosure of the complete accounts he'll never find another potential buyer.

This Consortium should hang around in the wings, so if he does ever walk away, we'll have someone to take over.

Definitely agree he should as a courtesy give us an update on how the club moves forward now, especially with regards his own position linger term - is this drawing towards the end of his tenure or is he staying until a takeover error happens?

So Whats the Plan Raj?
