Financial governance and regulation

The club will submit its annual accounts this month. The Trust will have the opportunity to question CFO Tom Schofield and other executives.

Across the division, reported losses are rising. Player wage inflation has climbed sharply over the past two seasons.

Club leadership supports stronger governance and sustainable planning. Discussions among League One owners continue around regulation and self-regulation.

The Independent Football Regulator will start influencing the game over the next two to three years. Licensed ownership modelling and revised owners’ and directors’ tests are among early priorities.

Filmogaz.com understands the club intends to remain financially disciplined. That policy favours long-term stability over short-term advantage.

Supporter education initiatives will include formats described as Behind the Scenes in the Boardroom. The aim is clearer dialogue on finance and decision-making.

The project team reports careful management of risks and external variables. Power Court is presented as a transformational opportunity for club and town.

The club enters the next weeks with cautious optimism. Progress on the pitch and off it offers reasons for confidence.
