Protests

60 years of no top flight football with very few highs will have that effect on any fanbase. Our expectations are that we will be disappointed. Year on, year out.

Sure, we all may dream each summer that it'll be different, but rarely do those hopes get to live past the month of September.

Stockley, Ginnelly, Ripley, Bayliss, Rafferty in 2019. Olosunde, Thomas, Izzy, Wickham, Murphy in 2021. Every single one of them playing lower league football or not playing at all now.

Yet, the guy who negotiated those deals and contracts is still here. Admittedly mostly active on Facebook spending the transfer window mouthing off to fans.

Most fans don't care cos as you say they have no interest in how badly things are run. Have no belief we will get promoted. We have a collective lower league mentality and you see it in the tin pot nature of the ownership and many fans alike.

If your a passionate fan, how can you have no interest in how badly your club is run?
I just don't get it
60 years of no top flight football should be spurring fans on to ask the questions, not consigning yourself to what now seems an endless stagnation.
False dawns within the last 20 or so years have given us hope, some expectation thrown in as well. Plus we are constantly reminded that our owners have aspirations of getting back to the top flight, yet here we are, our 7th season in the Championship.
I stick with the M B cha's opening post.
Make something happen on a national stage an there is no better chance than that than in the company of the BBC an a national audience. Nothing ridiculous like those bellend Everton fans. I still think a shitload of flags with "for sale" slogans or similar would be something completely original. I've certainly never seen anythin of the like at a televised game. Could anybody honestly say that the cameras would ignore it?!!
One last thing. If there is no kind of protest an we see some kind of spirited performance I.e a narrow defeat or if we're really dreaming a shock win, the the inevitable happens an it all gets forgotten until the next run of shite performances.
 
So The Riddler was employed partly to find a new owner and failed. They sort of hired someone else to generate interest and that failed too.

Are we now entering a phase where fans are going to be antagonised in to providing free advertisement that the club is for sale...?

These billionaires aren't daft.

I’ve heard P Riddy is going to put the club on Facebook Marketplace during tomorrows lunch break.
 
Setting the price too high and putting off potential buyers makes no sense when your having to put in around £12m per year to keep us going.

If you actually want rid of club and £12m per year burden set then price accordingly......No?

Depends. Do the Hemmings/Revitt have everyone by the balls here? Is the club priced at £30million and debt free, or is it £1 and they'll want the £100,000,000 in loans and shares paid back...?

This is the kind of nonsense I keep hearing. The ownership have to be asking prospective new owners whether they are willing to take on the ‘burden’ of taking on the football club rather than trying to sell it to them.

They are asking someone to take on a liability and presenting it as an asset. The result being that only the likes of Chris Kirchner have been brought the table this far. So a party has been brought to the table at the ownership’s asking price, and guess what, that party was not a viable buyer.

Asking someone to find a buyer at £30m is entirely different to asking someone to find a buyer for a nominal fee. Whether you choose to believe it or not, there are plenty of prospective buyers out there. It just happens to be the case that a significant number of championship clubs are available for sale.

If it was made known that PNE was available for a nominal fee there would be significant interest. Fact. Again, whether you choose to believe that is up to you.

The owners don’t even have any kind of proposal or presentation prepared for potential buyers. Engage a party to do so, reduce the asking price to a nominal fee, and I can guarantee there will be enquiries very quickly.

That would appear to be debatable.......... I'm sure we'll be flogged at some point for a reasonable price but it will be for damage limitation and we certainly won't be in the Championship when it happens

It’s not even debatable. Deepdale PNE Holdings owes Grovemoor £70m+. Deepdale PNE Holdings owns PNE ultimately. The legalities and financials are complex to the point whereby a potential buyer who wanted to force the issue legally would probably just decide not to bother.

Feels to me that we are being mothballed and a position in League One is deemed to be our natural level as a cost neutral business.

I doubt we’ll be flogged for a significant amount of money, the business is worthless.

I’d love the fans to make the owners feel uncomfortable, but they won’t, and furthermore the owners don’t care anyway.

‘Unfortunately, when on my lunch break, I accidentally touched my phone and a message, not written by me, was sent to a fan. This was a mistake and was completely out of my control’
