    Is it? Have a peek at their latest accounts, £15 million wage bill with £10 million turnover. No club can operate like that without big crowds, eventually it will catch up them.

    No they are operating a better version of our plan. The lads they flogged to Birmingham more than cover the shortfall. It’s a lot of juggling but can be done.

    They're still losing millions every year with the transfer money they receive. The following quote says it all.

    The figures show the extent that Matthew Benham is keeping the club afloat and able to compete in the Championship.

    That's why they're looking for investment, it's unsustainable and their new grounds only going to hold 17,000
