There's nothing contradictory whatsoever. We have had a huge amount of expected income taken away. Well run means balancing the books, not having an infinite supply of spare cash to fund an unexpected global crisis. The clubs assets were less than £1million at the last accounts. Turnover of £3.5M with £3.4M expenditure.

So without any income, how long do you think that small amount of assets, when not all of it is available cash, will last?


And those assets will be primarily the ground and training ground which can't be turned into cash quickly and are worth far less in the current climate than they were when the accounts were put together.

It's true — a wedge of money from the top, to fund the clubs further down, could be the way to save domestic football as we know it.

It's genuinely frightening that within a couple more months this great club (along with many others) could go to the wall.

If the big clubs have to stump up to save us they'll want us to sign our souls over first.

A week of PL wages could tide a club like us over for a month or more...


Can we have a week of Manchester City's wages. That would tide us over for a year or more.

Recent figures show they pay over 2.75 MILLION pounds EVERY week to their players. The two highest earning players each earn over £300,000 a week.

Yes I know they are taxed at about 50% but do they struggle on only taking home a measly £150k a week?

I wonder if any of them want to buy a football team with their spare cash?

I'm intrigued as to what exactly they're 'monitoring' - his prozone stats to the fridge and back must be superb!

The Huddersfield manager said recently that “worse case scenario”, that 50 - 60 clubs could go bust if there are no fans allowed in stadiums next season.

Whatever the actual position in the future, it does not make good reading.

.


There are far too many full time professional football clubs in the UK anyway The EFL could easily be cut by two thirds and still be as strong and watchable as the leagues in other Western European countries

EPL clubs will not bail out lower division clubs, they do not give a flying sh*t about them. Self interest will always win out in football.
