Compared to them we seem to be run quite well, at least within our means. (ducks behind parapet waiting for the assault)!!!

Shouldn’t have to duck. You are stating a fact. However..... If I live on an estate where my house potentially should be in the top 20% but is in the bottom 20%. Do I compare mine to the sh1tholes in the bottom 5% and say I am better than them? Would this not just be hiding the fact that my house is not as nice as it should be ??

Wind the club up, come back as a phoenix set up and come back up through the lower leagues. They'll get good crowds and be successful.

You have to feel bad for the players and the supporters in situations like this. The financial mismanagement of a club has nothing to do with them, and they are the people really affected by the consequences. Imagine how you would feel if Town won promotion and a few weeks later were faced with the prospect of demotion through several leagues or even extinction.

I also remember going to the away match there in 04/05 season when they had loads of fans turning up from other clubs in a bid to raise cash for another financial crisis.
Was that the same game when they brought Dean Kiely out to do the half-time draw and he started winding the Towns up for the sake of it?

Yes! I still remember the Kiely is a male masturbator chants at half time Also notable for Kazim-Richards scoring twice I think, went on to play for Turkey 37 times. I think David Nugent was still up front for them as well. So again in financial crisis but still had decent players. EDIT Kazim-Richards was their youth product so maybe he did not cost too much.

Not necessarily. Take a job that pays over the odds (and company already in debt) and you have an inkling. Done it myself- only had myself to blame. Same with fans. It’s not exactly impossible to find out the financial state. Must have been reasonably common knowledge. Even if people are ignorant first time round they should start taking an interest after the club nearly folded.

I imagine that right now they'd be delighted to have someone like John Fenty to come in with a benign loan.

At least they couldn't blame financial dodgy dealings for getting kicked out of the Football League.
