It's funny how he now "admits" their big spending was a mistake, and yet it wasn't so long ago that McMahon was on the radio moaning that they didn't have a big budget and getting annoyed every time anyone implied that they had. It does now seem that every time Dr Al-Humaidi opens his mouth, he distances himself (financially) a little farther from the club. Let's face it, he didn't come all the way from Kuwait because he was a lifelong Ebbsfleet fan, he came here for the theme park and the football was just a little sweetener for the locals. Now the park is virtually a dead duck he has no reason to stay. The "project" is over and Fleet are going to have to come to terms with this quickly and adjust their budget accordingly. I hope they survive this, I would hate to see the club go under. Hopefully they'll recover just well enough to finish several places below us for many years to come.

Not really a surprise.
Interested to see who they appoint, it could give an indication of their future prospects.

Wonder what he will do with Bluewater then?

Gary Hills new Manager ?

Interesting next appointment for Ebbsfleet, plenty of options including Jay Saunders and Chris Kinear, who knows what the chairman wants to do with the club or what his intentions are in the future.
