I would love us to be in and around the playoffs by the January window, TS would then be in a position to back up his bold words of a couple of weeks back when declaring the will be looking to get new signings in early if possible, I remain sceptical but in fairness if that League position was achieved I think it would be the first time that the club,under TS, would be looking at the top six in January, we were well off the pace last year and Chuks was brought in but on the down side that was before the declaration of the intention to break even was announced.
Funny isnt it, we win some games and this thread isnt so popular .....
Because people don’t want to hear it, rather than because short-term results demonstrate underlying change. Nothing is going to happen on the pitch to make Sandgaard’s ownership work, IMO, but most of us are interested in the football in front of us most of the time. Otherwise we wouldn’t be paying attention at all.
The only thing that can make his ownership work, is on the pitch.
Get into the playoffs, win them and suddenly everything could look a lot different.
Not gonna happen with this squad, once all the games in hand have been played, I suspect we will be back in mid-table looking up.
Win tomorrow and we could be 1 point off the play offs.
Came with good intentions, but his execution has been as successful as Stockley’s record of goals from open play this season.
He’s definitely done with us as well, save for hoping he can get someone to come in and offer something so he doesn’t have to put us in admin and write off the loss completely
Heard QPR have an offer lined up for Leaburn today as well, however true that may be. It’s not out of this world and sounds similar to what we probably got for Burstow last season. I would imagine he’ll take that all day long

Debatable. Clearly, He had no intention of following up on any of his good intentions.
Isn’t it accepted that we’ve got one of the highest budgets in the division? Certainly top 5-6 I’d think?
in which case whose fault is it the money has seemingly been misspent?
Without seeing to hand what other teams budgets are on this division then we don’t know. How Sandgaard seemed to know this earlier on in the season is a mystery to me
What I imagine Sandgaard may have done was looked at how much money we lose and count that as the budget. I would say we lose some of that money because people don't want to support an owner who is a football idiot. Not only that, his regime is a bullying one which takes away some of the passion too. The sooner the cnut leaves the better for us.

Thing is, TS made himself owner, then CEO, then put himself and his son in recruitment and talked ad nauseum about the black box. He then decided on the type of football he wanted and refused to listen to anyone having sacked all dissenters at the same time as pissing his minimal budget up the wall on needless high profile non playing staff. He has left himself nowhere to hide. It's his fault.
What does he mean by limited amount of the budget available to him?
Another Sandgaard contract anomaly perhaps?
Think as has been said elsewhere that the budget was xxx but yyy was already spent on existing contracts etc leaving Ben with diddly squat to work with.
At the risk of being repetitive the trouble with owning CAFC rather than a Cambridge , Fleetwood, Morecambe, Bristol rovers , Burton etc etc - the list is almost endless apart from the Wendies, Pompey and Derby - we will have the highest operating costs regardless of the playing budget which is why Sandgaard keeps saying this.
We have a Championship even Premier League ground / set up / operating costs but we are in the 3rd division

Total fucking embarrassment of an owner
Hardly hear a peep out of him

Maybe BG's words tonight will finally open their eyes to the REAL issues beleaguering our club both on & off the pitch.
At some point, even TS's talk will dry up & it's abundantly clear he can't walk the walk.
Why do people still backing him think he hardly shows his face in SE7 now ?
Probably have a 'big' overall budget but BG only got to spend the money we could ship out....which was next to nothing.
