Generally, our outgoings are could be as much as a few hundred thousand pounds a year greater than our income. Which is not good.
In recent seasons we have been able to cover these cash losses by getting a windfall from somewhere, in the form of:
- a good, lucrative cup run
- selling off our most valuable players (in recent seasons Brown, Rankin, Niculae, and best of all Brewster as manager)
- a shareholder injecting further funds.
None of these windfalls seem likely to arise this season, which means we will have to cut our cloth accordingly. So there is little money for transfer fees, or for paying off the management team.
