There's no disputing that Sheffield Wednesday can generate far more capital through gate receipts and merchandising than we can Filey but on the other hand, we get far more television money for being a championship club. I believe we get around 8 million a season from Sky whilst Wednesday and other league one clubs get just under a million each. That is a big difference.

I'm not saying we can outbid Wednesday regarding transfers but that extra television revenue and the fact we are currently a division higher than them certainly redresses the balance.

Should Wednesday occupy the same division as us then it's obviously no contest.
