Stop thinking we are some big time club, we aren’t. We have a very low income compared to many of the clubs out there and we simply can’t afford to compete with some of the bigger clubs.
We would be very lucky if we are debt free by the end of the season so I ask you “where are the funds coming from?”. If, however, we were debt free then I guess that shows what a good business head Whelan has on him.
If you are expecting Whelan to subbie us from his own pockets then why should he? His comments about being a self sustaining club were (I don’t like saying this) spot on. If a business is not capable of looking after itself without some millionaire benefactor constantly bailing them out then they are not a viable business and will be shut down. Is that what you want?
He’s trying to find a solution for us to remain at this level and be viable. If it doesn’t work then don’t moan because without him our natural level would be 2nd, 3rd, conference.
Punching above our weight, getting some big time charlie scalps along the way and pissing sky sports and other broadcasters off is enough for now.
The reality is we will end up in the lower divisions again soon enough so just enjoy it whilst you’re here.
