    Plus he oversaw the worst league position in our history.
    Worst in living memory yes, worst in our history, no as we finished 2nd bottom of Division 3 South in 1926.

    Thank you, Henry. We are fortunate to have someone like you from that era still alive and active to testify.
    Oi!

    I think they are at a small profit with the club now in The Championship. I know they are reaching out to certain people.

    If our owners were sold a dream of Championship by next season and an ability to cut losses to £2M once there, will they hang around if we are relegated having seen the cut of losses was nonsense and being back in L1 so behind schedule in that outcome.... rhetorical really as only they know the answer.
    I seriously doubt they bought that dream tbh

    They have said that we are ahead of schedule ie we got promoted earlier than planned.

    So that could mean they were'nt expecting to fund Championship losses this season but I've not seen or heard anything (not that I would) to suggest they are still committed.
    You’ve not seen anything to suggest the owners are still committed?

    You’ve not seen anything to suggest the owners should be committed?

    How can you cut loses to two million pounds a season, when the average loss in the Championship is fifteen million pounds a season.

    By not investing much in the squad, trimming back office staff and increasing ticket prices…😉☹️

    Well the steps may have been tried but losses may not be quite as anticipated. 

    Still every penny counts.
