New Owners - Soon?

What an interesting thread this has become.....
I see what some are saying - you need (a lot of) money to run a football club whether it be Torquay United, FGR, Eastleigh or Manchester City.
It depends how well it's done. We were extremely lucky with Paul & Thea.... two people who loved the club and invested heavily, I suppose in the cold light of day this is where the problems started. Money available, people getting lazy, investing today and not for tomorrow or the week after....
As has been said - by SG I think, the chance to be successful came and went with league one or play off final. It was downhill from there with too many bad decisions to discuss now - it's gone.
However my respect for the current board with the exception of Edwards was great. Saving the club and having to make difficult decisions and with all honesty, not many on here would have liked to have had to make.
Steve Breed was already high in my estimation with his love for the club having met him a few times and the way he left was disgusting. As with many posters, my estimation went down for the current board when they got into bed with GI.
I'm hoping that there is an alternative to them on December 16th.
