Fine with the premise in terms of gathering opinion, but the board aren't going to sack themselves.

The options are very lobsided.

Where's the option called "I have more than 2 brain cells and realise there is no one to sack our board so this thread is pointless".

Fair enough if you're not keen on the board and you'd prefer someone else in but "sack the board" is the most brain dead statements that is constantly posted on here.

As a personal opinion, the current board is currently ploughing in £2m a year extra into the club to up the budget from a lower League One budget to an upper League One budget, getting rid of the current board isn't guaranteed to improve what is currently being injected in.

Whether you agree or disagree, the club as it stands is going backwards, and if people cannot see it then they really must be blind. We are struggling to compete against clubs with far less resources. Well, we are led to believe they have less resources.

If we really do have a top half budget, then we are pissing it away. I really don't believe it's the case though. We wouldn't be scratching around having to bring shite like Bogle on.

Which clubs with the same current level of support as us are spending more money.

Blame it on the budget all you like.  I doubt Accrington ever have or ever will come close to our budget. Yet again they beat us.

We will be in the bottom third of average attendances this season. I'd be surprised if there is many more than 4000 home fans there on saturday.

I don’t believe the club is going backwards. It’s just a lean spell. We could finish mid table and it just wouldn’t be enough for some. It was always going to be tough this season . The hangover from last season will take some shifting.

Where's the evidence to back that up? Barring a couple of players, the ones we have are not League One standard.

Said lat the end of last season  the Board had to dig deep and invest if we were going to stem.the bad run of form into the new season but they haven't and this is the consequence... so I hope there is no one on here genuinely surprised where we are.. yes it is early days but we have a thread bare squad and yes we have a few injuries but we have absolutely no attacking threat.. unless we rectify that soon we are in for a very very long miserable season.

More money on what?

Morecombe have spent more on transfer fees than us.

Fleetwood probably pay more in wages.

With the greatest respect, if you are old enough to reflect on football seasons over the years, a bad season like last year often runs into next. A losing habit is very hard to break. RW has taken on a team low in morale, with little team spirit or cohesion, in part down to the exploits of DM and the manner of his departure. Add to that the loss of a key player like AB and you are left with an uphill struggle for a time.
Single players don’t make a team. Accrington May have a couple of players getting interest from bigger teams but they aren’t exactly Portsmouth or Sunderland. They won tonight by an own goal. Rovers have the making of a team. But not just yet.
Everyone knows we are short of a quality right midfielder and one or two good centre forwards. Until this happens AND the team gel more, then the lean spell will continue.

Budgets, wage bills,
People moaning about our board and what they’re spending.
But compare our wage bill to clubs with similar gates

Well the fact we've had two players turn down contracts with us and go there suggests they offered more. Unless someone has a breakdown of every clubs transfer and wage spend, then it is impossible to answer.

There was a study done a few years back and transfer fees don't correlate to league position (over years), wages on the other hand tends to. We probably average around our wage bill over the last 4 season. So don't just assume whoever spends the most on transfers does the best.
