And they have put that out straight after the TUST went public. Strange....

Well it wont be but if there are rival bids it would be nice to know before putting moneyt to the TUST iniative

Are you sure that TUST said that it was a single bidder. The consortium lead has over 7 million in his p/l according to companies house so I guess he was the wealthy individual referred to - I am guessing that he is now part of the TUST bid so I would also assume that if he throwing 150k in then that is chicken feed to him.

I would agree with culmstock -we need to know alot more about it. The issue with being part time is that we are unlikely to get out of this league as we will be at a massive disadvantage to London clubs in attracting players.

So who are these people with the TUST backed bid then. Does anyone really know. What is their model exactly? Is it to go part time and accept our level is now the NLS.

People saying they will back them with their own money is all well and good but personally I would want to know alot more first.

Why is it excellent news exactly?

Great we've got someone buying the club with assets of 60k

Marshall has had issues at the end of several games seemingly with his hamstring but has reappeared in a short space of time so hopefully its a case of ramp or something and not serious.

Yesterdays win was massive and has made a big difference to our chances of staying up. You would think we could win our two remaining home games and and with big support at Truro/Taunton we should be able to get enough points to stay up. Even though we have been poor I would doubt that we will get beaten by the two afoementioned teams twice in a season.

Minnapolisgull - do you seriously think this would have ended up any different with Osborne in charge. This is a bloke who had zero interest in football. Always going to happen sooner or later. If you think otherwise you are delluded.

God there is some shit written on here. People google someone and then on that basis decide he is the devil incarnate.

Everyone at Port Vale hates him so what - As he was beaten up badly by some of their so called supporters no wonder he couldnt wait to jump ship. Inexcusable i'd say.

Who knows he might not even be involved but he's got plenty of financial clout behind him and turns up to watch his team play - there are 2 redeeming qualities for starters.

If we do get a new owner then that will be a plus. I'd just rather give whoever it is a chance before carping before the ink dries on the contract.

I guess then you dont really know him at all so you are making assumptions. Maybe its best to see how the situation plays out.

Agreed. I dont see the point of slagging prospective owners off on here. For starters we cant be too picky.

Noone really knows what impact a new owner will have but right now a couple of the names who have more than a passing interest in football would be a big improvement for me.

I'm just hoping there still are some potential investors. Saying there is no difference to our outgoing owner is quite frankly ludicrous.

The problem is that the defence isnt good enough -we were ripped apart by a bang average team on Saturday.

The goals were pathetic. Look at the third. Tomlinson gave possession away and Halstead is beaten straight over his head. The other goals were no better.

Theres just no point in buying a ghost ticket if you can get there its so counter productive. Just go along and support the team simple as that.

There is just so much riding on this game it is massive. Yes we are crap we all know that BUT we dont need many wins to avoid the drop. I would actually think we will get a decent crowd on Saturday. Exeter/Plymouth dont have a game.

Hampton maybe the form team but they are no world beaters - we simply have to man up, the players have to get a victory somehow.

No offence, but dont withdraw your support, now is not the time. Get yourself along there. Create a hostile atmosphere for the visiting team and try and influence the referee.

There is plenty of time for recriminations but not now. 3 home games and 3 away games against Taunton, Truro and Bath where we will either outnumber the home fans or have decent support.

Yes being in the Southern League will be an unmitigated disaster which we must avoid. Unfortunately the reality is that we are going to get nowhere near that with the defensive personnel we have.

It is quite unbelievable the results we are getting. 7 goals conceded against Tonbridge/Taunton. SOmething is seriously wrong.

Why is Edwards even there - lets face it we are finished.
