Chair on Radio Humberside Sat pm

Wonder what will happen in march /april if that's when the financial tipping point comes? Go part time would be the obvious answer.
I bet they are praying that several clubs get involved in a bidding war for pollock

It’s easy to blame the top flight or foreign owners for the issues in football but it’s much more than that.

I think the EFL or clubs like ours sitting and waiting for them to help us out is a little daft. It’s not a guarantee and there’s no hard evidence to say it’ll be forthcoming.

As a club we seem to have some sort of plan; ours is overly cautious and based on ensuring the club simply exists in a year or so. Some will have their own views on that.

For other clubs, they’ve seen this as an opportunity to speculate and go for it, possibly assuming the league may not be as competitive and it’s a good chance to go up and move forward. Again, some may think this a big gamble, others see it as positive speculation.

I don’t think clubs being on the brink is a league 2 issue, I suspect it goes across all the leagues but it is what it is. In reality we’ve only lost Bury recently; Christ, Bolton were on the brink and were purchased and then borrowed 40m...

Depends how cynical you are too, the more dependent we become on top flight clubs and the league you can see the B team or ‘feeder’ club approach becoming even more of a reality...

It grates with me that the Premier League aren’t helping a great deal, but there’s surely enough clout in the upper echelons of the EFL (ie ex Premier League chairmen) to get this sorted.

Not surprising. It was Portsmouth's refusal to pay Town £300k after the ITV Digital fiasco that put us in the deep mess financially that we still haven't recovered from. That money, together with Dudley Ramsden's "gifted" £300k would have paid of a lot of the debt including HMRC. (Remember, Town were close to being wound up over that debt)

The answer is to become self sustainable and not rely on others. If a "grant" becomes available, then take it, but don't rely on it to develop a future budget.

Thought it was Leicester to be honest. Mind you, I've tried to blank out that part of Town's history
