If these owners had the best financial interests of the club at heart and ran it in a sustainable way then the budget would be what you'd expect of a lower league one club or a club in league two .

The sky tv revenue would be akin to having outside investment coming in .

To run this club in a sustainable way the wage bill needs to be around four to five million and not anywhere near the figure it is right now .

That kind of wage bill wouldn't allow the club to be in the championship but that's not the point , if the club hasn't the resources to play in the championship then so be it .

I haven't the financial means to buy a nice detached house in Cawthorne either .

What the owners have done is to create an illusion of financial prudence but in real terms have stolen the club's money and gone to the casino gamble with it so as to profit personally themselves at some point in the future .

They haven't lost at the casino because they were never playing with their own money so how could they ?

It's the club and it's fans that have lost at the casino and they never even stepped through the casinos door .

This isn't so much as reckless it borders on criminality .

But in this town amongst some it's Luke Goddard who is the criminal and a stain on the town .

It will be a long time before I want to share the same air as some of our supporters inside Oakwell if ever at all .
