Was having a think about the boardroom dynamics yesterday and am completely open to being shot down here but food for thought.

Before Trevors passing you probably had KR and PR on either side of Trevors shoulder, one with a business mind (KR) and one with what he thinks is a football mind (PR). One constantly asking for money to be put into PNE just to keep them afloat and gloss over his commercial inadequacies, the other handling Trevors business affairs and you can assume making him money.

Trevor passes and KR now inherits the power to dictate to a business that needs 10 million just to keep the lights on and all the issues many posters have highlights, for example a half finished stadium, poor commercial output, diminishing playing squad, unhappy fan base, poor catering, no fan zone, inflated player wages, no academy the list goes on and on. Whilst the person in control has had potentially 70 million plus over his tenure to work with. Basically the investment has been royally pissed up the wall, all whilst the person in control has got himself on the EFL board and the length of his service means he has a high level of job security.

Therefore if you were KR would you trust PR with anymore money apart from the minimum?

Or would you wait for his position to become untenable for him to then leave and install someone with a 21st century mindest and approach to the football club?

You would think someone with such business acumen would be far more ruthless than that.
 
I think it's been mentioned on here that KR (and most likely some other PNE co-owners in the post-TH collective) have no interest in funding PNE.

But at the moment they are restricted in how quickly they can ditch the thing by some TH covenants and whatnot, that need to expire first.

So while it's comforting to think there may be a long game at play here that doesn't totally suck for PNE, I think it's just wishful thinking.
 
The whole Hemmings Empire was built on buying failing businesses cheaply, overseeing their run down and ultimately selling off the land as real estate. Take a drive from St Annes to Blackpool south, clock where Pontins used to stand and youll see exactly what I mean.
