You're missing the point Owd Bob. Nobody is questioning the way Eric has run the club and I'm sure we all appreciate being debt free. However, we can't carry on in the same way we are doing now, otherwise we'll end up playing those very teams you mention in your post.
If the club is going to survive in the League then it needs to operate in a completely different way than it is at the moment, and with Eric at the helm it is never going to do so. You only need to look at the statement issued by the club to realise that it can't continue to operate in the way it is doing at the moment. The club needs investment and that can only come with a change at the top. There is no way that Eric can expect investors to come forward, whilst still holding onto the reigns with both hands, as he suggested last year.
Whether anyone is willing to take over the club and invest in it remains to be seen. If there isn't and the people of Accrington won't support it through the turnstiles, then maybe the experiment has failed and we need to go back to a level where we can exist within our means?
One thing is for sure, though, the club can't stagnate and wait for a miracle. Not even at this time of the year.
