Bundesliga fan ownership is the best model.

Supporters will be much happier going home after a win (hopefully) than feeling disappointed, dejected and even angry after constant home losses, which has been the case for the past several seasons. We'll find our level in the National League and feel much better being at the top-end of the division (hopefully) rather than struggling at the bottom-end of League 2. Finances might possibly be more manageable too. Happy days will be back again, trust me. . Often times in life, it's what you don't want that turns out to be the best thing that could have happened. Who knows, we might get our act together and win promotion. Just one caveat, don't do a 'Morecambe'.

I can’t think of many of current squad to build a squad around to compete at the top end in the National League and a complete squad rebuild is needed. Not sure what to expect and we don’t know yet the Board response from this relegation. We will know almost immediately on the season end
We will lose a lot of revenue - sponsorships, Sky revenue massively down. Attendances likely to be down. The club will likely restructure on and off the pitch. Not even sure if training location will be reconsidered. It hasn’t done us much good has it? We’ve picked up more injuries at training than I can ever remember which must raise questions about training and how we train.
Felt there was very little togetherness in this squad and lacked leaders.

The season has been shambolic and we got steadily worse and in the end couldn’t score and couldn’t keep clean sheets. That’s only going to end one way.

As for the rest of the field- Chesterfield looked good when they came here, MK Dons maybe. We were just rubbish throughout with the odd win. Never had any consistency at all.

The board may have had enough and ran out of steam. They may look at relegation as a time to move on. They may think they’ve took the club as far as they can and need new ideas and investment on board is needed.

We’ll see in the next couple of weeks

We all know on the pitch we have lacked a central figure and a goal scorer for the last couple of season's this needs to be addressed, I also believe it will not be 48 years before we are back in the league, lets have a clear out and try and get behind the club again.

Jonty this is brilliant it's how we all should think next season I'm sick of being second best we have all got to keep positive believe!
