If that is "looking after the finances properly"

I wonder what "not looking after the finances properly" would be like? Because a club that had undertaken two successful share issues, had the financial windfall of a year in the Premier League, had structured contracts so that wages reduced to appropriate levels on relegation, should not have found itself on 17th January 2006 without the £50,000 fee to buy Carl Robinson, and unable to pay his wages. But it did.
