A number of fans have questioned the continued presence of Andy Lonsdale and Joel Nathan at the club, given Tommy Agombar is no longer involved in the club.

The pair were brought to Edgar Street to advise Agombar, but have remained since his apparent departure with Nathan still referred to as an adviser and Lonsdale insistent that he is only chairman of the club rather than the company.
With John Edwards and Elke Thuerlings out of the country, and the other directors listed at Companies House apparently taking no day to day involvement in the club, it seems down to Lonsdale and Nathan to conduct the day to day business of the club at present.
The wording of the statements from the club about the investment due in to clear Monday's winding up petition has changed significantly, going from Edwards' triumphant "100% certain" through Lonsdale's confident "We won't have any problems satisfying the petition" to Nathan's less certain "the judge will look at several different options for the way ahead".
With the main phone lines to Edgar Street again unavailable, several of the football creditors still await payment for sums going back as far as March, and even some of the current staff claimed to be owed wages according to friends and relatives, doubt remains as to the club's ability to continue. On the eve of the 90th anniversary of the club's first competitive match the fans demand clarity - and honesty - as to the future of the club after months of uncertainty.
After 90 years they deserve that much.
