One of the things that is clear in the programme is that they work within a budget (big as it may be) and are trying to work towards some sort of sustainability.
I mean they can say whatever they like in a show which they seem to curate but it doesn’t alter that they (and Stockport) have been financially doping for the last couple of seasons, completely distorting fair competition in their leagues, and buying their way to success.
I appreciate they have had much bigger crowds for the last couple of years since the actors came in but they still lost over £5 million in their most recent accounts. £5m in the Conference! Jesus wept. Makes our recent owners look like penny-pinchers. Those accounts show a player wage bill of £6 million. They owed nearly £9m to one of the actor-owners. Incredible numbers.
