There ain't gonna be any consortium. There ain't gonna be a brand new stadium which UWE builds and we use. There ain't gonna be a victory over Sainsbury's to pay for the UWE . And we ain't gonna ever get anyone to revamp the MEM and they pay for it. I have been saying this to board backers for 10 years and more . We should be really focusing on how we survive part-time football !. How we readdress our huge debt of around £ 6-8 million ! And how we deal with the monies used on the failed Sainsbury's deal!. I know it's not fashionable to call a spade a spade anymore or 'tell it how it is' but this gas- mythology dreamed up by daydreamers will just allow the dust to build under the rug which we will trip over in due course. Let's put it another way. Can we survive another 7 years based on the last 7 ? Your not telling how it is, your telling how you think it is based more on what you don't know than what you do actually know.

I am not quite a cynical and pessimistic as yourself though. I do think that there is potential out-side investment, but the Board have failed to engage with it. Source Alistair Durden. Chose from a mixture of pride/ego/greed/stubbornness/bloody mindedness. (Or if I'm being charitable - no-one will talk to us whilst the shamesburys debacle drags interminably on). Can we survive another 7 years based on the last 7 years? No. If it stays as is with NH in 'charge' then we will have racked up enough debt to effectively wipe out the value of the Mem, the club will be worth zero, and we will be homeless.

That seems to be spot on. What I don't get is doing nothing at the mem. Us home owner know that you have to at least maintain our homes or they rot and you are left with a bunch of rubble that goes into an auction. I know the chairman has taken his eye off of the proverbial ball but surely it is prudent to at least maintain the place where we are, no ?

Hi Bridgey long time no see - Quietly confident something will happen still and stand by my original tweet that a consortium are trying to takeover the club with funds to build UWE as per original plans - i understand things are in the discussions stage still with plenty of games being played out - as a goodwill gesture i will put £50 into the FFS Club if proved completely wrong for being a pain in the ass on here or incredibly stupid and gullible! - UTG

Have they made contact with Higgs yet?

If NH denies the story, it is being claimed that he is telling porkies. If he says nothing, he is damned by the silence and criticized as holding the club back.......or maybe the whole charade is just a story aimed at discrediting NH?

Has anybody accussed him of being untruthful? All I'm doing is asking Jon a question to try to work out what the heck is going on.

Why would anyone concoct a charade to discredit him? Six years of mismanagement and sub-optimal honesty is more than enough. He does a better job himself than anyone else could. Any third-party discrediting (if possible) would only make sense as a means to an end.
