Re: Mortgaging the family silver

I can understand Mr Holt's ambitions for the club, but this would seem a massive gamble, especially after we only recently obtained the freehold.
It's already a miracle that we are one of the few clubs not actually in negative equity, let alone the smallest town supporting a L1 team.
Does anyone seriously think we can compete with big city Championship clubs, many of whom have spent millions in failed attempts to reach the PL.
Far better to 'cut our cloth' according to our purse than ransom our future on a risky gamble.
How much more satisfying having achieved our present success on a shoestring budget & low gates.
Bigger clubs than ours must be looking down & thinking - 'How the hell do they do it?'
We should be as happy as a pig in s***!
