We absolutely are in the shit. In fact, the rumour is that this is only the beginning. What’s frustrating is that you could see this happening and yet could do nothing about it. How many clubs have gone for the big gamble and lost out? Too many to mention and we aren’t the first and won’t be the last. What’s even more depressing is that the players we had last season were, on the whole, appalling and yet are likely to be replaced by even worse players! As for us being a ‘big club’ it depends on what you base this. We have a large fan base, but that’s it. We’ve not had any real success for almost 30 years, our ground is falling apart, our owner is ‘eccentric’ to put it mildly and the team is total shit.
I wonder if they'll go the way of Bury? No club is too big to fold.
Glasgow Rangers were liquidated.
Wages were 160% of income in 2019.Don't know what more recent figures show, but that is heading only one way, unless the owner digs deep.Reading were even worse, spending over 200% of income in wages.We have a test for people looking to buy into a club, but the outstanding issue is how to regulate those who already own a club, and choose to head for the cliffs lemming like.Here is the bonkers league table for the Championship;https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1400746604081168384/photo/2Is madness a virus?

My first question would be where he's got the money from to pay off £12m in wages.
