Lost at home to Boston 3.1.The wheels have fallen off I think they have lost 6 on the bounce. No real surprise, just an example of what can happen when your very own magic money tree receives a better offer and uproots, in this case to Huddersfield. Hodgkinson pumped well over a million pounds into the club in a short time - both on and off the pitch. On the pitch he bankrolled over-inflated transfer fees and players contracts. These were 52 week contracts and although (it's my understanding) he underwrote those deals up until July 2020, it was obvious things had to change. And change they have. Off the field highly paid staff have been 'let go' and replaced by volunteers. The players now train a couple of evenings a week, with a number of the squad informed that the club cannot continue to afford to employ them on their current terms and it is 'in their best interests if they find other clubs'. Fast forward from a club with a forward looking benefactor who was seemingly totally committed to both the club and the town, pumping funds into the football club as and when required, to a club denied for want of a better term, the ongoing financial doping which it had become dependant on, having to come to the painful realisation it would now have to live within in its means. Some might say they had it coming, others may say it is a salutary lesson.

Normally I’d be dead set against bringing back a player like Astles but I actually think he’s exactly what we need at the back but I can’t see him being happy to sit on the bench when Livesey & Grand are both fit. Would give us the opportunity to play three at the back with wing backs maybe?

We have to hope that Stuart Murphy doesn’t decide to move on if he doesn’t get planning permission for his grand plan, otherwise that could be us.

There is zero chance of the scheme outlined at the AGM getting planning permission. I also think there is next to zero chance of Stuart buying the land required or the Stadium so how he continues his connection with the club will be interesting once these things become clear.

Why would there be no chance of planning permission being granted? I believed there was some political support for SMs propsals? Planning has to be independent from politics. Planning permission is decided by the Planning Committee based on guidance from Planning Officers or much more likely in this case, an independent inspector, as CWAC owns much of the land concerned. When it comes to planning the the Local Plan is the key. Decisions have to made in line with the Local Plan which is based on local and national policies. The scheme outlined at the AGM is not in line with the Local Plan and contradicts many of the policies and guidelines contained in it. The CWAC Local Plan was adopted last year and will be in force for the next 10 to 12 years. There would need to be significant changes to the next Local Plan to stand a decent chance of planning permission being granted or significant changes to the scheme itself if something is to be done before then. inside.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/policies_plans_and_strategies/planning_policy/local_plan

Even if Stuart was to walk away it would not leave the club with any dept worries that’s due to the way the money has been put in to buy players etc and not as long term loans which is usually the case with most investors at this and higher levels

Also planning decisions should normally be made in accordance with the development plan, unless other material considerations would outweigh the harm of going against it - such as social or ecomonic benefits of projects. So, planning decisions do not always have to be in line with the adopted Local Plan but there would have to be very good reasons to depart from it.
