I suppose people aren't 'massive concerned' because we don't have any control of decision making at PFC. The trust's influence seems to be minimal anyway, which is a shame.
I don't believe for one minute DC would give a fan of an opponent his detailed expectations of promotion and, even if he did, he's bound to say their team is going to walk the league etc. It's basically playground talk dressed up as social media.
We are not going anywhere until the owners show ambition and they have never, ever demonstrated that during their tenure. If they had they'd have bought the one or two players in a January window a few years back and we'd be comfortable in the championship. They actively avoided going up and spending a championship season in lockdown in my opinion. Instead, it's about staying put and plodding on for dear Eisner. We can only hope they are playing a fecking hardcore version of the tortoise and the hare, or another ITV Digital. DC is right that we are a stronger team that last year but that's because we had no players at all last season and were desperate for anybody. At least we have half a team this time!
DC has grown on me a bit though because you have to remember that when he played a settled team that actually knew each other we were flying from January at home (away, a different story). He gets sod all cash and has to deal with the same old questions of why aren't we buying everybody? Yes, it's annoying that other teams like Wycombe go up (with gates of 5,000 behind them), but they go soon go back down. And I can't see too many alternative managers, other than Jon Colman, who could do a good job on feck all cash and wouldn't spout the same BS.
Anyway, in conclusion, I'm a realist. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
