So so ambitious. I mean let’s face it, we only stayed up a year longer last time because teams lost points...how embarrassing that we’re clutching those straws once again.
I’ve already come to terms with being non league. It’s been apparent that it’s been highly likely since before the season started really. We were horrifically underprepared and sat back and pretended we were alright...you reap what you sow...
We deserve to go down in fairness. Personally, offing Fenty would soften the blow somewhat...

if it is Oldham, then it makes their game tonight v Col U even more interesting/relevant. Are we now hoping for a draw rather than an Oldham win?

No on 2 counts: 1. It would make us like Hollowords and the Principle Funder - gambling on 'what might be' 2. If Oldham win then get docked 12 points it's another club sucked into the mire, they might panic and that's good for us. But right now if Colchester lose and we win tomorrow we can all be a bit more optimistic on Saturday evening. UTM

I would say the most important thing for this club atm, isn't staying in the league It's getting new owners IMO
I would rather start in non-league with these 2 guys, than league 2 with Fenty 100%
Completely agree. We don’t know how a new regime will do things, but what we do know is that this club will never move forward with John Fenty at the helm.

If you gave me the choice right now, relegation with Fenty removed or staying in the League with him still here, and I’d pick the former.
Relegation is just a matter of time with him at the helm. At least change will give us the chance to break the cycle and move forwards.

Yep, that's my view. In the All time League table [url]http://alltimeleaguetable.co.uk/[/url], of the current football league clubs we are the furthest below our all-time ranking. Oldham are close and Bury, above us in the all-time. don't exist. Stockport and Wrexham are similar in number of hierarchy places below their all-time ranking. We've averaged 40 plus places below our all-time ranking for over the past 12 years. The stats don't lie...

Beyond the immediate elation of surviving relegation, I don't see what there is to look forward to if we stay in the FL and Fenty remains at the club. It'll just be more of the same.
Of course I want the club to be in the highest possible league, but if I had to accept relegation in order for Fenty to clear off then I would. As many others have said, our future is brighter, albeit a league lower, if Fenty is gone and Stockwood et al take over.
It feels like we can't look up while Fenty's here. We can never aspire to be higher than mid-table in division four, because that's the best we've achieved under Fenty (bar that Slade season, which looks more and more of an anomaly with every passing season).
Staying up AND the consortium taking over is the dream, really. It's possible — a win at Bradford will really help!

And just like that, I'm extremely optimistic about our club again! Now Hurst can plan ahead, and hopefully be the leader for years to come, and help make this club, what we all hope it can be! UTFM
