Trouble ahead at 1921

I see trouble ahead at 1921, indeed insolvency, which is a terminal event.

The utility bills will be a financial blow and they will similarly be a financial blow in the population at large, seriously affecting revenue. Football inflation, so to speak, necessitates a higher wage bill than last season in order to equal that level of 'success'.

Without the above extra factors the club's normal trading loss per financial year can amount to £500,000. The add-ons from substantial transfer deals are all finished and nearly all used up to mitigate the usual level of losses.

It is clear that Philip Day (short-hand for Purepay Retail Limited, which he clearly controls) wants his money back now.

I see one of those massive Pickford's flat-bed low-loader units with a driving tractor unit at each end, carrying a gigantic industrial sized fan, heading for Brunton Park, ready for all the s­hit to hit.
