But we are supporters of the club, who pay money to watch the team play football. All of those issues are directly related to the reason we are here as football supporters.
People don't follow AFCB because they are supporters of company finance do they? As if we're all on tenterhooks to see whether they are going to make a new signing in the board room and change tactics.
In my view only one thing matters in relation to the finances and that's whether the club is on secure financial footing, which it has never really been since I've supported them. The current situation is 100% down to the whims of one bloke as it has been since he took over. If he loses interest we're going bust in a big way. It's always been this way, covid has made it worse and there's nothing any of us can do about it unless we've got enough to buy the club off him.
Since the 90's when I started to watch football, off-the-field management went hand in hand with its fate on the pitch.
There's a correlation between wages and league position. Those who succeed more, pay more and where there's a team either below or above that trend line it's showing the quality of the non-playing staff against its peers.
More importantly then just success it's survival. We've seen a few clubs go under while we were in the acendancy and it was my sincere hope we would see some infrastructure to make us self sustainable but instead it's huge debt.
When I first started to support the club it was always skint and it's important to me personally that I do what I can to preserve this inheritance for others.
If you don't care about the finance, while it's sad, surely you're better off avoiding threads which are clearly about the topic.
