You are also not including other income. Gate receipts 9,000 x £20 x 25 games = £4.5 million.
Plus sponsorship (not including the money from ASD).
We should be in good shape this time in League 1, because we don't have players on 7k a week to pay. No Blackstock to pay off and players to sell for actual money, who still have time left on their contracts. If we sell a couple and buy 3 or 4 with some of that money the model starts to work.
