    I don't post often - and as an exile I only get to a handful of games but it feels as if the club has been hit with an earthquake (albeit positive hopefully) and that those in charge need to take a step back before rushing into any decisions now.

    I think now what we need is a period of stability and reflection and would hope the club so that we are in a position to aim for promotion next season, rather than rushing decisions to chase for it this season.

    I'm interested for know about the calibre of player we will be looking to bring in. Jim has always nurtured young talent (out of necessity) - will he continue to do the same or will we be moving for more experienced players who are 'even ready'

    I also wonder what the mental impact of the takeover will have on some of the players who won us promotion. Will they be looking over their shoulders now, thinking their time may be up? This could affect morale.

    If we do not reach the playoffs and have a disappointing start to next season, Jim could face pressure I get the feeling stott doesn't want to hang around in this league for long.

    Just think that this takeover is so seismic potentially and a cool calm head is now needed.

    I know that in Jim we have the most ideal person possible to lead the football operations or our club - but this really does feel like a game changer

    I get the feeling our results till the end of the season may be a mixed bag now. I hope, and also believe that all decisions will be taken with long term interests in mind rather than chasing immediate success
