I really don't want an Alty app nor want any budgets we have go into an app.

I spent a huge chunk of 2018 building and getting people to sign up an app (around 100k users).

The return on investment just isn't worth it. And that app had payment, loyalty and a micro site inside.

It could be argued that Harvey was worse

100%.

We wouldn't have gone down if Neil Young was manager for the duration of the season.

We wouldn't have finished in the top half either, but he'd have eventually settled on a squad that did just about enough.

Jim Harvey's reign did the most damage, for me. Coming in he needed to settle on a squad and system that would start getting some results - but the door revolved at a faster pace than it was doing under Young.

One thing's for certain, Neil Young would not have played Danny Hattersley and Craig Hobson at centre half.

Anyway, massive congrats to Marine. Great club.

I'm sorry but with respect, this is absolute rubbish. Neil Young had already destroyed us with the most bewildering recruitment policy I think I've ever witnessed. He also seemed to move heaven and earth to secure the services of the aforementioned Hobson and Hattersley that had rival clubs scratching their heads.

When he said in an interview that he'd basically keep on recruiting and shipping out until he got it right, that should have been alarm bells - he did the same thing at Stockport too, remember - they'd never seen such an extraordinary turnover of players in such a short period of time.

Jim Harvey had a reputation as a troubleshooter - a Sam Allardyce of this level, if you will - you could argue it was us that finished him off.

I was shocked and surprised when I heard this as I really thought Jordan was an Alty loyalist.  I am not sure this will prove to be a good move for him, and it does suggest his ambition is maybe burned out, and he wants to cash in for his last few seasons playing.  I get that and I am sure it wasn't an easy decision for him to make - just disappointed to see him go - he was brilliant for us - as good as any striker we have had in the last 30 years - and I was so looking forward to him making National League defences look like clowns

Jordan was an Alty loyalist.  In March when he appeared on the Non League Lounge podcast he said that there was huge interest from Chester same time as JJ but he did not join them out of respect and repayment to Parky for what he had done for Jordan over the last three years.  He talked about a mutual loyalty in football.  However, I guess that goes out the window when it's full time football and big money on the table which I don't think anyone can blame him for.  Much different situation to JJ who joined a direct rival for promotion (ha) halfway through the season, combined with the smugness that the deal was done with on Chester's end.

You’re right about that. Jordan took the money to drop down a level, unlike JJ. Which is fair enough if the money was good enough, but it wasn’t through misguided ambition. A “loyalist” is probably stretching it a bit.

He's liked a tweet by Sean Miller suggesting he might have been disappointed the club accepted a bid for him in the first place.

I think it's unfair to throw the moneygrabbing thing at him, when in truth that works both ways. We didn't have to accept a bid.

Just to stress that tonight is very much a technical rehearsal as far as Alty TV is concerned. A lot of preparation and hard graft has gone into this over the last few days but there are still a few unknowns which we will test for the first time tonight (e.g. linking up with the PPV platform). Will be taking baby steps to start with but have exciting plans to add to the service as we go along.

The same goes for the operations around the managing stream, lots of work has gone into making this a success at short notice so a big thank you to everyone for your patience in waiting for the season ticket code this afternoon.

As MadFrankie says, they should all now be in your email inbox.

If you can't find the email after checking your junk please contact the club using the contact page on the website.

Nice one all.

Report on the radio said it's not yet clear if this means liquidation and receivership or if they'll be allowed to appeal. So it may not be all over quite yet.

I think that's dead wrong. The next step is for MTFC Ltd to be removed from Cos House. The Court then appoints an Official Reciever to act as a Liquidator to wind up the company and then see if the creditors can be paid what they're owing. There's no appeal process, that's it.

R5 saying they have five days to either pay the debt or appeal the decision. Only then will they be liquidated.
