People are too obsessed about bragging about being co owners to realise weâre a joke

Deal with what you've got until something better comes along. Your repeated whinging every time we lose is childish.

Re my comment with CFU membership. Just seems everyoneâs got an opinion all of a sudden on here about the managers and the club etc but since weâre a FAN OWNED club shouldnât most of us be signed up if weâre die hard enough to come on a non league forum? Frank get your point, I was being satirical - but just shows some of the Facebook idiots on here spouting nonsense now ! Let the next 4 games pan out and then reassess. Oh mate donât bother with the Facebook nutters. Been told that, along with the usual Murphy/Duke of Westminster guff, someone on there piped up tonight with âshould have given Martinez the job when we had the chance...â Absolute effing lunatics on there.

Look at the state of them crowds I don't entirely disagree with you that the clubs seems in a bit of a rut and it's getting harder and harder to get anywhere without money. But first of all, our past exploits with "investors" shows we should be careful what we wish for, and secondly, there's no point in pining for an investor that isn't there. Murphy was dishonest about his reasons for getting involved with the club and his offer didn't even get to a stage where the fans could vote on it. If a serious offer is made, it will go to a vote of CFU members and democracy should be respected. Rightly or wrongly, my suspicion is that the majority would actually vote in favour of even a dodgy offer right now.

We had a lucky escape avoiding that clown Fairly sure he didnât want anything being released just yet when the club announced it Could be wrong We dodged a bullet with Murphy. However! Whatever peoples opinion is, we cannot go on as we are. 100% fan ownership is only good for to survive which is all we are doing at the moment' very unlikely to progress. The problem is that nobody is going to invest/buy us. The other problem is; when we are in the shit later on this season because of falling crowds, revenue, where is the shortfall coming from? I doubt people are going to keep tossing cash in to bail us out. And nobody is going to quit either whilst they are on a contract AND we have no money to pay people off. The feel good factor from 10 years ago has long gone. Whatever the blinkered ones on here think...we are in decline and so are the crowds. One thing is for sure, if we suddenly need 100k to stay alive i doubt many will put more in. People just cannot afford it. It would be all well and good if progress was made but we seem to be going backwards. This is despite the fans raising at least 300k over the last 5 years on top of the budget

If you had EVER been a CFU member before, you were entitled to renew your membership. If you had never been bothered enough to be a member from 2010 to 2020, but then suddenly wanted to be one when a local businessman expressed an opportunistic interest in buying the club in the peak of Covid, that would seem a bit odd to me.

Thereâs just no need for the abuse towards the managers. Theyâve been nothing but gentlemen during their time at the club. That said, you do get the feeling that the support for them is dwindling and they need a sequence of positive results. None more so than Saturday.

Last time we had a ÂŁ300k budget in this League we won it by 16 points, scoring 103 goals in the process.
More money about now yes, but whilst there may be a lot of reasons for our extremely poor start budget isn't one of them.

Itâs like a drug the Facebook comments I just have to see them for a laugh. Worrying that a few of the comment have profile shrines to Tommy Robinson đł Either way, weâre not in a position to pay them off and I do feel we give them the next 3 league games of Blyth, Kettering and Guiseley. Winnable ishâŚ..

It's a good job some of the posters on here aren't on the board as we'd need new management/owners every few weeks. I do rate the team at Runcorn, I think I would happily take a manager with tactical nous as well as being a motivator - it's not even that common in the football league. Ex-players starting out in management at this level will be more of a lottery though as we can't afford experience. In the meantime, we will win some games once the managers realise they aren't Pep Guardiola and start playing a system the players understand and then we can calm down a bit.

Really like Morley and Johnson, in many respects they are the perfect fit for us. Their record is good at this level and I really hope we start to turn the corner.
Having said that, the team selection yesterday screamed of managers who just don't have the answers right now. We've recruited a side to be brave on the ball and on the front foot, so why are we starting with 6 defenders and 3 central midfielders away at Chorley? The mentality is just totally wrong.
The harsh reality is there are definite parallels to the downfall of McCarthy. A squad recruited that we were told was the best we'd had in ages, but never showing it on the pitch. The defensive nature of post-match interviews is also beginning to ring warning bells. Bern and Jonno's greatest strength is their honesty and openness with the supporters, but it's clear it can backfire when things aren't going well on the pitch. I think we might be entering a bit of a prickly patch that only good results will get us out of.
They know more about football at this level than I ever will, but if I were them, I'd be looking at a few of this squad and wondering if they're up to it. Johnston is done here, it's just not happening. I'm not sure Clark is the answer either, he's a good talker and obviously good in the dressing room but we're either trying to play football or we're not and if we are, I've got doubts about him. I still think Livesey is a good player here, but it sounds as though Grand is in a difficult moment. I'm also not convinced on Dudley's worth. He's technically brilliant and he can be outstanding on his day, but those days are so few and far between. Stephenson is struggling, the jury is still out but he needs to up his game massively.
Darlington looks massive now. Out of the cup and the pressure will really crank up.

They need to be active and get the club out there. We seem to be happy with where we are. People saying that we don't have a right to be in the league worry me. There is a serious lack of ambition here. Saw one comment before about putting Cal Mac in charge! Just because he supported the club and has done well with the youth? We need to let this fan owned crap go!

This Murphy thing is driving me crackers, he wasn't the man to take us forward end of story.
He was a Chester fan? so much so he shut the door and walked away after being challenged, he was after the club for some reason or other but the fans were kicking off in their droves when he approached the club when the pandemic started, calling him for everything.
One thing that bothered me was asking for a 10 business plan in the middle of the pandemic, what business could produce a 10 year plan in such uncertain times???
We dodged a bullet with Murphy, i dont think he had clubs best interests at heart, it was clearly business deal with an unknown outcome.
Everytime we lose its the board need to go, fan ownership is over, we need a new Manager (Morrison?).
I love what Crewe do, they always give a manager a fair crack of the whip, not jumping straight on their backs adding pressure which long term can affect confidence.
Some get off on waiting for people to fail.
I will say it again, some on here where saying Bignot was the man, I must say he has really worked wonders at club with an investor?.
Not defending Jonno or Bern, but we have to be realistic , this ÂŁ100k is pledged money by the way, not sat in the bank.
Money doesnt grow on tree's, not interested in Curzon and what they are doing, only interested in my club and i would like to think we can turn this around
