it does raise the spectre of fans bearing more of the cost

I doubt any shiny, new owners will be writing off interest owed, or converting debt to equity.

And as we have established that even a pretty good recruitment team can make the odd misstep, we'll be wasting the new funds on players that cost £15m rather than those that cost £10m.
