In this podcast special, we discuss whether the club is currently in crisis.

We discuss the decisions made by the owners with the way they sacked the manager and players suddenly leaving the club. We talk about losing our captain and goalkeeper, Elliot Justham, and pay tribute to his ten years at the club.

But it's not all negative as we finish with the positives from our performance in Saturdays draw with Yeovil Town.

Thanks in advance for listening and please like/follow all our socials.

Good listen and bang on the money with what you have said on pretty much everything here. The club did come out and communicate fans in December, but Dan Hall lied about the situation. They’re not stupid people either. They own other clubs, they know how the fan relationship works and they’re not staying silent through ignorance. They’re doing it because they don’t want to be open and face the fans, why that is though is definitely up for debate. But whatever way you see it you’ll know it’s not a good sign of an owner.

As for Justham, you’re right again with Young it was not his decision as the call was made in December. It’s just that the bad performances made the club pull the trigger earlier than planned and Young is deflecting blame for that. Same as with Strevs, same as with the Xmas statement lie, and as you said on the podcast, it’s classless. Underdog are showing that pattern of behaviour very often already and it’s horrible to see.

Any doubt that we're bang in trouble has been confirmed tonight

I agree totally with everything you both say on the podcast so well done for putting that together. I hope Club Underdog read the posts on here and come back with some sort of response so we know what is going on.

Why do you want to know what’s going on? Can’t you see what’s going on, we have owners that are clueless, have put a washed up football agent in charge who thinks and probably told the Yanks they can do everything much cheaper. There won’t be any statement as that will confirm their own failure, as per the last owners Americans hate being a failure and would never admit it.

The chairman claims to be from the area but the total lack of class from his little puppet tells be he’s been in USA too long, no class.

Have a look at @Jaxsunservices on Twitter. Shocking treatment of one of our biggest sponsors.

Seeing social media talk of sponsors pulling their money, ex staff making statements, fans boycotting games and volunteers no longer wanting to help out. They are killing this club and have to be sacked before it’s too late

Turns out James King did all of Ebbsfleets recruitment last summer before leaving to join us before start of last season, sums it up really. Relegating two clubs is some going.
