I think with the correct management team and strategic planning you can at least get a playoff place with 1.2m including management and PAYE. But who's to do it? :!: From a football management point of view you need to bring people in who have managed successfully at a higher club. History tells us...

I think with the correct management team and strategic planning you can at least get a playoff place with 1.2m including management and PAYE. The most difficult thing is picking the right manager and planning for continuity and succession planning. Which is why I believe, managing the manager is on...

Hi Brian - there are indeed good people on the Supporters Club - loyal Shots fans - busy people who give their spare time and effort often under the radar. Just to clarify though that I resigned last year as I could not afford sufficient time to make a meaningful contribution. Cheers Ian You still ...

I don't get to matches for personal reasons and I only read the mood on Shotsweb where I acknowledge posters represent a small percentage of the total support base which is probably about what.......seven thousand perhaps? My take is that most supporters are realistic about the financial situation u...

Was the Sports Council Loan something to do with funding during the Covid pandemic, perhaps? If that is the case and it was a loan taken by the club to cover the period when they had the usual expenses but no income then my recollections are that certain other loans that the club may be carrying wo...

Re the above I was asked a question by rba and I answered it but it's old old hat. The important issue is I believe that the ATFC board needs beefing up and I threw out that Brian Bloomfield and Richard Petty would immediately strengthen the board and provide a badly needed conduit from the board to...

Thank you Sir. What do you think is the reason The Chairmen and board did not accept you ? Also do you have any idea of why Mr Azeem came to Aldershot in the first place as he did not seem to be at Guildford or Woking long.....then all of a sudden he is Aldershots saviour....it just does not seem r...

This is bad news if the reason is Bournemouth recalling or the player asking to return. He clearly came to get game time and it does not look good on us if he failed to get on the pitch, it may also turn Bournemouth against sending us any more players. A top club loans out players for a reason and ...

Alan, good to see you in fine fettle on the message board. You are completely right re quality of day to day club management application over quantity of monetary input. One thing I've definitely learnt in football is you can't run a successful football club by committee, you have to run it from th...

If you have been reading Shotsweb over recent times, abee, you will know that it in my considered opinion it is a gross error to think of a football club as a business, like any other. I get a lot of stick for this. It's because of the post-Thatcher orthodoxy that everything has to be treated as a ...

One more try. The essential point that I probably did not make clear in my earlier post is that running a football club is like nothing that I had experienced. I thought that I had been around the business block a few times but back in 2007 I wasn’t prepared for the difficulty of running a football ...

I had hoped back in October 2016- May 2017 that a small group of us including then current and former directors could have perhaps achieved something but we’ll never know and I won’t die wondering. I have some (but not too much) sympathy with the current Aldershot board. Running a football club is n...

The last person in the world that Shahid would take advice from is me but it's clear that his board needs 'beefing up'. It costs nothing and if you appoint the right people who have the best intentions for the club then you can have an improvement almost overnight. For a start he could consider Bria...

My user name popped up on this thread so just confirming that I am alive and well. Although Aldershot is my second club I have not posted on here since June 22 2021 after I received a PM from a prominent Shotsweb poster. That made me reflect and I ceased posting. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address...
