The buck has to stop with Nico as he got the majority of the current squad together with some very poor signings.
I'm fed up with hearing the same excuses every other week its getting like a broken record.
Alarm bells should be ringing already.

It would save money in the short term if the club went bust. But it would be without a tenant if/when a new ground was built, mmmmmm interesting. I would guess the best outcome for GI, is for us to get relegated, lower wages in Conf South for a few years while all the stuff concerning a new ground is sorted. Club goes part time, low wgaes for all. Yep makes sense. All you have to do is a bit a PR on all the naïve and gullible fans, saying we have these plans looking forward to be a league club again (laugh out loud) , say "This will NEVER happen again" (again laugh out loud). We have a great new squad for Conf South and will be aiming for promotion (gee I cant stop laughing now). its a bloody good comedy!!

If GI wants a new stadium in the bay then it needs something in it to attract a sizeable crowd in order to profit from it, a NL South club are not going to attract those sort of crowds.
As for a striker we have one in Williams who has been wasted for most of the season by Nicholson. If Williams had been used earlier in a manner in keeping with his style of play then we might not be in this mess now. Part of the problem now is that GI have no experience of football. If a football savvy consortium had taken over they probably would have had a replacement for Nicholson in tow.
