Not true. We're where we are in general because of our own appalling decisions

Over a considerable period of time; decisions which we've started to put right at last. And the bigger the gates we can get, the more we'll be able to cope, unlike many other clubs. Then factor in that because of the credit crunch, and mounting awareness that football eats money, that the age of the sugardaddy could be coming to an end, and a club like us are suddenly in business.
