    Amazing. They’ve been on the brink once, yet here they go again, hoping this time racking up debt will be different.

    Surprise surprise.

    We want to go up, but we can't compete without putting debt in so we want more money off the league.

    How's about an industry wide cap on wages. It wages pure and simple causing this.

    The more money that comes from the league distribution won't allow us to simply buy better players, it will cause existing players to want more to stay still

    Agree with this whole heartedly, you have to ask when the broadcaster wins the next contract where does the increase go? That's right wages, there's a ceiling where fans can only pay x amount for tickets, merchandise and subscriptions

    Remember Bolton’s old chairman Phil Gartside proposing that promotion and relegation to and from the Premier League be stopped. Surprisingly they were in the Prem at the time. Horrible club.

    According to Keiran Macguire, the average loss in the Championship is £476,000 per WEEK.
    Just short of £23m a year.
    It's insane numbers

    Funny how when Bolton were in the premier league they weren’t asking for greater amounts to trickle down the pyramid.

    If owners want to blow money chasing their dreams it’s their choice.
