Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "We don’t have the revenue according to the current incumbents but they have cried wolf on this far too many times. We had a chance a few seasons ago but unfortunately friendship got in the way and maybe the fact that to stay where we were was just too daunting financially and much better to return to the more frugal days for which accountants are more comfortable. This led to revenue falling as results and support declined meaning we entered the vicious circle of trimming costs until we reach where we are today.
I admit they have done a good job of making supporters believe the Championship is just a stepping stone back to SL however experience suggests it isn’t or has I have said before more clubs would want to do it. The only plus I see is that there will be more available parking around the ground.'"
My opinions are independent of what Carter et al say. We've struggled way before he arrived, the odd good season was blown the following with an unpaid tax bill or other clubs taking the better players.
This isn't a recent thing.
