His dad will be now wondering too.
Big changes required. Decent management team who are tough cookies will sort it out.

They will also want the sort of money that PC won't want to pay after losing over £2M since he came.

PC seems to be reigning in the money which is why the players sold for good amounts in the summer were not replaced, or replaced with players who cost less to buy and pay wages to as well.
As a consequence the new ones weren't as good players either.

PC also had to pay half of the cost of the new floodlights.

Feel a bit sorry for him actually as I don't think he realised that something he did to honour the memory of his father would cost him so much.

This league is very hard to get out of and requires a bottomless pocket.

Come on how naive are you, he did his due deligence etc made all the stadium plans etc. You're telling me a successful business man didn't know about the costs involved

All businessmen, however successful, can make mistakes, just like anyone else. I remember a 'successful businessman' in Barrow who almost went bankrupt through a bad decision. It can happen to the best of them.

Yes. Paul Casson now needs to take stock and do what's required at this time. A good decision can outweigh a few poor ones.

Could be one of 'those tales' but I was told by a good source that when he was told about the cost of the floodlights there was a sharp intake of breath and there was shock on his face. Due diligence? The best of businessmen can do all the background checks etc., but they can make mistakes, underestimate what needs to be done and unforeseen things can crop up to increase the cost, such as managers wanting to spend far more than you thought or ground improvements being dearer than expected. How naive are you?

Please don't insult my intelligence by trying to fob me off with that rubbish you have just wrote, the fioodlight situation was on the table when he took over so he was aware how much it would cost !, I could say more but I'll leave it at that. You just keep deluding yourself with these fantasies that are just poor excuses, no I'm not naive only people like you who are expecting us to believe what you have wrote!

What that man said. It's clear Casson is now reigning in his spending including pocketing the money from the sale of key players in summer rather than replacing them. The talk of promotion has also long since disappeared along with a good manager. This doesn't sound like a man who's planned that the club is in the current situation it's in. It sounds more like a man who's bitten off a bit more than he can financially chew.

Moore sounds like he belongs behind the counter of a Wolverhampton hardware shop selling fork-handles...can you fork-off Mick?

Worst manager in my memory

He's about as inspiring as a dead hamster. Admit the mistake, get him gone.

My hamster has just died and i agree with this post. RIP Harry.

Moore is nothing more than a cheap yes man with zero motivational skills and is obviously tactically inept & we need rid asap

When Cox was appointed he brought in Simpson (old mate) and Ogden (old mate). Simpson left and he brought in Moore (old mate). Cox left and Moore brought in Bignot (old mate). Binot thought he was too good for us and left . Moore brought in Hornby (old mate). I know managers like to work with people they know but we are looking more like footballs' answer to Friends Reunited. Makes you wonder about the Cassons' input to appointments or whether they just leave it to the management to sort themselves.As for MM listening to his pre-match interview on RC on Saturday was a precursor to Sundays result. He makes Jack Dee sound like Lee Evans, How he would inspire any footballer is beyond belief. I was prepared to give him a chance but to continue would be bad for us and worse for himself. If Graham Barrow is still free get him in. Possibly even John Sheridan who could team up with his brother and do for us what the Cowleys have done for Lincoln.

A good cup run could have paid for the floodlights.......
