List the clubs whose owners didn't get them through that period. This is not something we need to be thanking the owners for.

If the Trust had taken over post Munto and Hardy, rather than Scardino and administration. then they would have had better crowds than they did to fall back on. This is not to say I thought the Trust was a good thing, it wasn't, hence the comparison with the current regime. Being sustainable is a euphemism for owners not willing or not being able to put much of their own money in.
We got short changed on the government support as the model was totally flawed and the owners picked up the tab as they also saved us from going bust, so I am happy to thank them for that alone. We haven’t got a squad on peanuts here, we signed Matty Palmer from L1, we have some players I expect on very decent wages. They’ve literally put millions in, we’ve seen the books, sustainable in football terms means live somewhere near your means, haven’t we learnt anything the last 25 odd years? We have a club that can generate decent crowd income and with sensible investment and leadership should lead to success, but it takes time and hopefully they get it right.
