With it seeming increasingly probable that we might miss out on the playoffs this year, what measures do we need to take to secure promotion from this league? Is it perhaps time to reconsider the fan ownership model?

But unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anyone interested . |

The fan base of Chester has always been limited in number compared to other sides in whatever division we have played. I have watched Chester since 1965 and this has always been the case. Gates of around 1000 in the old division 4 when weather was bad, gates dwindling in seasons when results have been poor etc etc. If we had a benefactor then for me the German model of less that 50% is one that I could support. A sole owner who could come and go just as fast is something that could spell disaster. We do need some way to generate additional income but not sure how we can do that. There are no easy answers but let’s get behind the squad and the manager for these remaining games and see where it takes us. |

No to private ownership time the directors got their arses in gear and take responsibility for the club's lack of success how many managers have failed in the last 8 years and how much of the fans heard earned has been wasted on players that are not fit to wear the shirt

Could I suggest that mods merge threads like this with the numerous other existing investment / fan owned threads?
It's very tiresome seeing threads like this from people who have only been active for one day.

Nothing to reconsider.
We are fan-owned, but should a theoretical millionaire suddenly fancy taking a chance on a team in the NLN, then we'd consider the pros and cons of exactly what it was they were offering/what they were asking in return and put it to the membership to vote on.
As far as I'm aware, that's always been the case - It's just the teeny-tiny detail of the generous millionaire bit that's holding up the process.

On the other thread Gloucester get a mention...doesn't seem so long ago that they took Asante off us on a "lucrative deal". Their sugar Daddy soon lost interest and now they are heading back to obscurity. Be careful what you wish for.

Whatever way you look at it there is no way the clique Jim & Albert (Must’ve missed the advertisement of the GM role) are going anywhere anytime soon. Happy keeping it between themselves appointing their mate as manager so unless Jose walks then they will keep giving him new deals regardless of results or league position.
Heard Jim Green has taken on some director of football role on by saying no to the signing Ritchie Bennett on loan - Not sure how he’s qualified on the incomings into the football club. Missed a massive trick in not doing everything to sign Bennett on loan been absolutely ideal but Jim said no so that’s that - Suppose Norton Burton Windsor have been some cracking forward signings to name a few
Unless accept some form of ownership model change then be non league for the rest of time

Why don't you step up when it becomes to running the board alongside the others who mention they need to get their arse into gear? Perhaps you could spearhead a Youth Acadamy set up that has seen countless players make the leap. Perhaps you could find the funds from every knuck and cranny to pay for another KGV? Board members, one being Jim, have been instrumental in both of the above. Without people like Jim, this club would not be in existence. When did you you leave a legacy that will impact thousands and last for generations? |

Surely there becomes a point where we have to start considering the way the clubs ran We've spent more time in this league then we have the NL Since reformation. Whole reason we ended up back in this league was due to fan ownership not working for us against the big spenders. Theres a reason clubs are avoiding it when reforming & others also looking for investment.
In an ideal world 51/49 model would be our best hope.

Ok we give in, we’ll end the investment boycott. Who is it that wants to invest again? |

How many clubs can say they have produced their own manager and selected five ‘homemade’ players in their starting line up on Saturday? Burke, Peers, Murray, Roberts (ok oldco) and Williams (‘youth recruit’ let’s call him).
Barcelona perhaps? Maybe Ajax or one of the German clubs!
The answer isn’t to be more like every other club in non league existence, it’s to stick to the ambition to produce more of our own players.
Wrexham literally spent millions of pounds in hollywood money to get out of the conference; where do you expect the next set of international superstars to come from, to fund us as such?

For the love of fuck just fucking leave it. IN WHAT WORLD IS SOMEONE GOING TO INVEST FOR 49% IN A NON LEAGUE CLUB TO LOSE MONEY EVERY MONTH. Our budget or model has nothing to do with on field performances. It took us 3rd last year and we win 4/5 we’ll be in the playoffs. Some people on here are so dense. I work on the wind farms off Rhyl and I feel like Einstein compared to half this forum. |

Look at the likes of Darlington, Telford, Fc United, Wrexham etc It only takes you too far only way its going to work is if we up the costs of minimum CFU Membership to £5 Struggle to see how people seem to think we'd financially surive in league above if we went up with current model. So much money been pumped into that league since we was last in it.
Understand why people like the fan ownership model but you've got to ask where you realistically see us next 10-20 years.

It makes me wonder how Exeter City manage it in League One. £24 minimum subscription can hardly be a world changer. |

Bigger wages. Bigger outgoings. They’re in exactly the same situation as us. That is, trying to get enough money together to compete at the level they’re at. |

Your argument was that the model doesn't work, then when shown that it does, you try to argue something else. They are are in the same position in a higher league. They even got out of the Conference as a fan owned club. |
