Yes - No ?
How many clubs finish regularly above Barnsley in the football pyramid on 9k season ticket sales with very low serviceable debt ? We either try and generate money with this kind of recruitment to keep low debt or someone pumps millions into the club or the club takes out loans of millions of pounds. The club had debt of £6.5m to Cryne before that was changed to share capital plus we owed around £1.5m in transfer fees.

Point is even with a Cryne running a tight ship and some thinking he was tight with money we still owed millions. The idea of a club being self sustaining just on match day income in the Championship is very rarely possible. Just look at the clubs relegated every season. Usually 2 out of 3 have the lowest budget .... and we’re usually one of them
