They will have known about the covid19 situation for some time now, so I guess they have plans. Not the best time for taking over a football club.Beano wrote:Jimstag wrote:I’ve got a feeling that they haven’t even hit rock bottom yet
They must have a business plan, but I doubt it’s based on COVID restricted attendances.
And without someone with proper financial clout behind them, I think you’re spot on.

A couple of issues with this.
1) They are not part owned by the Council - they have been loaned money by the council. As long as they pay it back as per the agreed terms and conditions the Council has no call on the club or control over it.
2) I would guess that the MDC NALGO side was purely members of MDC staff who were also members of the union and the side was funded by NALGO rather than MDC.
Love the comparison to a Sunday League side though.

They need to keep their feet on the floor and avoid making big promises. They also need to keep a tight grip on the purse strings. The immediate aim should just be survival and remaining in the National League. Give themselves a couple of seasons to work out the lay of the land.......(my son).

They are hoping to get financial support from Bolsover District Council, according to the Derbyshire Times article.
