In that year we lost 24.7million.
Over 5 x what we lost the previous year.

That was a big gamble for us...bearing in mind we were and still are paying off the last fine

We took a calculated gamble that year, which we felt (at the time) we could mitigate if it all went wrong. We didn't go all out in a $4!t or bust gamble that could put us out of business if it went wrong. We also gambled again by not selling Willock, Chair, and Dickie when they had significantly higher resale value.

No Col...it is a serious risk to us as a club...

We took a bit of a risk 2 years ago, with Warburton...and we failed and now 2 years later...we the club are trying by selling all the family silver and naming rights and laying off staff...to stay in ffp levels...to give the players the chance of playing ourselves out of relegation...rather then be deducted 5 or 10 points that would guarantee it

We didn't take a big enough risk maybe.
I understand all the risks, but I dislike hearing some opinions on here which just seem to say that we should simply accept our fate and give up.
The only way to get to the Premier League is to have an awful lot of money behind you it seems.
 
This could easily be us in the future so I don't find any enjoyment about their plight.
Fit and proper test of owners by the EFL is a joke.
