Quoted from Maringer
Mansfield aren't growing financially, though, are they? They've just got a very wealthy owner willing to lose money hand over fist on an ego trip. See also FGR.

Once the owner loses interest, the money dries up or he pops his clogs, they'll be back to where they started as a smallish lower division club. Or a smallish non-league club in the case of FGR.

I don't look enviously at these clubs chucking money around like there is no tomorrow to try and achieve 'success'. Accrington have shown what is achievable if you are well run but don't have a lot of spare cash to hand. Failing a takeover by unnamed moneybags willing to lose a load of money, that's the thing we need to do. Hopefully, Jolley will improve the squad from last season and we'll have a better go next time around. I have less faith that he'll be able to do this than I did a year ago following some poor or distinctly average signings last summer, but continue to live in hope.


I agree with this. There are other examples around too. Newport and Exeter spring to mind. Not as dramatic as Accy but probably even more sustainable.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
