    Take note of what can happen when the owner takes the ball away.</p>

    &quot;Gretna went into administration in March this year with debts of about &pound;4m after backer Brooks Mileson withdrew his support.&quot;</p>

    &quot;Then a few years ago Mr Mileson took over and injected a lot of money into the club and it enjoyed a lot of success on the football pitch. </p>

    &quot;But if you take away the benefactor - the person supplying the money - then financially you have a real mess.&quot;</p>

    Frightening.</p>

    Cryne has protected himself by investing in the club by way of loans. The club are currently in debt to Patrick, he has not simply tipped his money into the company.

    A ready-set Championship team - pretty sure someone would buy us in all honestly.
