Can we ban the term "but Bury/Bolton" from here? It's the biggest indicator that people don't know what they're talking about.

I fully expect TH to do his due diligence to ensure that any new owner is actually competent, has the money and a clear plan for the club, with unanimous backing from the board and fan representatives (which we bloody well should have)

You have both spectacularly missed the point.

Nowhere in my post did I criticise or say we shouldn't be greatful to have Mr. Hemmings to at this time.

Neither did I "have a pop at your support."

What I do take exception to is your constant bashing of supporters who support the club to the best of their ability. You are constantly belittling supporters.

Yet again you state, why don't fans cough up £1000 each? You mean just like the share issues? When we got a pittance back in return when TJH took over the club.

Yet I am sure that if the optertunity arouse for part fan ownership again fans would step up the plate.

There are fans clamoring to buy season tickets, shirts and the like. Fans pushed the club to licence the terrace so they could support them.

At the present time we cant attend matches but I can assure if football fans could never return our club and football as a whole would die.

As I've said before. Many football fans have put in a higher percentage of our disposable income into supporting our club than the owner. If many of us where billioanires... yes a billionaire we would do what Hemmings does, infact many would do even more.

Yes support the owner but please stop belittling the contribution we all (yourself included) have made and will continue to make for decades to come.

You seem to take exception to europne's posts, as I do. For me it's because of the patronising; condescending tone. If he/she made their point without coming across as a pompous berk, perhaps folk wouldn't take so much exception.

I'm never convinced by an argument or point of view when the person in question has to resort to abuse like "bastards" "assholes" and "twats".

The moaning JK on the forum saying what TH should be doing what he isn't doing & at the same time giving him a total lack of respect for the huge amounts of money he has pumped in since lockdown.& in 40 years.
What would we do if he just walked away tomorrow because if you think people will be queuing to invest in north end your more deluded than I thought.
Look at Wigan they are really struggling to find a new owner & looking at there comments I am sure they would gladly change places.
Bury & Bolton fans have put just as much into there clubs as we have done & look at them.
There's more moaning now than when we had no floodlights & applied for re election it shocking.
And we are only in the summer brake ffs

If the Internet had even been thought of when we applied for reelection I can guarantee the forum would have had folk moaning.

Folk used to protest at deepdale regularly so that's a daft comparison.

Trevor Hemmings is not going to walk away, he has even protected his investment by appointing his son as Chairman.

I am fed up of folk slagging off our supporters who for generations have invested large amounts of love, finance and dedication to a football club which for the most part achives nothing.

Yes it may be fair to get frustrated with all the plastics in Preston, yes it may be worth being upset with the stay aways. However, the constant belittling of supporters who have dedicated their entire life to our club is getting on my wick.

And if these new “competent, with money and a clear plan” owners never appear? What then? Seems a bit pie in the sky tbh.

Yeah, I know there has.

On other threads.

Not this one.

There’s discussion and criticism of aspects of Hemmings’ ownership on this thread, as well as other club issues not directly related to the OP, so I thought the post was fair game for this thread.

Apologies if the post seemed out of place, by all means Mods feel free to move it to a thread more appropriate.

How do you know that? there was no social media then or PNE forum, and I was looking for my pen and paper but couldn't find them for lack of light. ffs this must be the one post which is really grasping at straws, another Bolton/ Bury fan.

Sorry, I didn’t just mean on this thread alone.

I was addressing the general feeling that we may be better off without TH and under a different owner.

Theres been plenty of ‘Hemmings Out’ talk over the last few months.

I doubt it is ‘the general feeling’ tbh. It is however, clearly the feeling of a number of members of this forum who enjoy repeating themselves endlessly.

Some of the posts are rude and ill informed at best, and sometimes borderline libellous (unless of course the posters are publishing undeniable fact because they are actually aware of his thoughts, plans, finances and reasons first hand)

Hemmings in Hemmings out posts are as tedious as they are pointless. TH runs this club as HE sees fit, for the reasons HE has and with HIS money. This will continue until HE decides to stop because no one (we know of) is remotely interested in taking his place.

Why don’t we just put up a poll with two options: I support TH or I want TH to stop funding PNE and leave.

If we do that, we will know once and for all what percentage of PNE Online want him and his funding to stay, what percentage want him to take his funding and leave (presumably nobody) funding PNE or what percentage just support the team and abstain.

We can then perhaps understand that the members on here are a small minority of active, match attending fans and, on this subject STFU?

Just a thought 👍

Hemmings Out - Yes or No.

Not going to verbally abuse the man as some would but he needs to reduce the asking price and leave. Received £20M in transfer fees over the last year yet less than a quarter has been reinvested into the playing squad. Perpetually hasn’t backed the manager in chasing his number one targets...

DW did his due diligence at Wigan JW did at Rovers they all do but they also want as much money as they can so the only people who are daft enough to pay silly money are from overseas Far East or India etc & they all say they have a clear plan.
Out side the prem there has been a big problem with new owners you need serious money at championship level.

Wigan's issues come from a 2nd sale not the original one and the Plastics are being heavily bankrolled by the chicken lot and are in a good position financially and are probably punching above their weight based on their support whether the fans like them or not.

JW did not sell Rovers to the Venkys which would have been quite a feat given he was 6 feet under.

His family who ran the JW Trust had a split within (some wanting the £££s) and eventually sold up.

Those horrible Venkys who gave Mowbray £7m for Bereton, £5m for Gallagher and £3.5m for Armstrong in the past couple of years.

The Walker Trust went against everything Jack Walker did for the club he loved.

His family didn't give one about Blackburn Rovers and got shut ASAP.

To be fair to TJH the appointment of his son as chairman will ensure there will be no quick fire sale of PNE.
