Looks like that's that to me.
Let's not be taken down the road that the pandemic is the be all of the clubs problems either .
Certainly it's had a huge impact I'm not disputing that ........ However .
The club themselves underestimated the Championship once again and recruited badly .
They failed to listen to the HC at the time who advised what was needed .
They have contributed themselves to the likely loss of £7.4m in tv revenue .
They have contributed to the fan base becoming disillusioned and divided and would be seeing a significant drop in ST revenue anyway .
There's no free get out of pandemic jail card with me .
It's been mentioned a few times now , They may not even have vast amounts of money that plenty think they have ,
If You were very wealthy " billionaires " and the business you owned was struggling , would you put money and effort into it , knowing full well if success came you would more than double your money easily , Successful season's in the past have shown that , add some Ambition and the ground would be full most games ,
Thev a lot mooar brass than they would like foo ak to think Roma. They planted a seed with the "club men" on BBS to play darn their wealth and they ev swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
They are globally wealthy people playing some financial game across European football. Hoss himself last week sed "We are looking at the end of the independent football club". They see themselves as the new Red Bull group owning teams like RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig with feeder clubs across Europe feeding players into the bigger clubs. OGC Nice was meant to be one of the clubs at the top of their pile but an offer came along too big for them to resist.
Teams like Barnsley, Ostend and Thun are just feeder clubs meant to just tick along without costing any money but can be used to develop young players. They ev no love for or commitment to us.
If we start costing them brass the'll drop us like a stooan. Get ready forra fire sale of any players they get a bid for this summer to "cover costs".

The likely collapse of the transfer market is the biggest concern .
There isn't a player on our books good enough to attract the attention of PL clubs that I can identify .
Our normal market the Championship is in total meltdown with no bugga with a pot to pyss in .
At this moment in time our players aren't worth anything .
In business terms you are sat on products you can't sell , your the man trying to sell ice cream in Cawthorne Park on a Wednesday morning in January .
It could well be that Woodrow and Chaplin wouldn't even bring in what we paid for them with how championship clubs are looking right now .
