But we are suffering from a time when we were trying to compete with clubs
similar to our stature, and our handicap is the result. I dont do the sums, but surely the extra we pull in in revenue compared to "Walsall" is offset against the burden of repaying the debt?
I know I oversimplify it by saying this every time (as to be honest i'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to finance), but SURELY it is no coincidence that clubs such as Leeds, Leicester, Southampton, Ipswich, Charlton, Sheff Wed, Nottm For (Bradford, Swindon?) have suffered in the same way, if not to the same degree, as we have as a result of attempting to compete at the top?
