In England there are 20 clubs with massively bigger income streams than us, approximately 5/6 clubs with significantly bigger income streams than us, and in any given year another 3 or 4 or 5 clubs with bigger income streams for that particular year(*). Whatever the faults or qualities of a Bates or a Grayson at any given time we can't compete financially with about 30 clubs - funnily enough that puts us about mid-table in the 2nd division. We are where we can afford to be.
The disappointment lies in not being able to get a better playing performance than our relative income stream, and there I'm afraid you can only fault Grayson's football management (which I don't BTW) and Bates "risk" management (eg should we have gambled on Kilkenny last year?) - I don't think that either of those points have been wildly adrift up until now - lets see if MS lets slip his risk strategy or his promotion target :( Lets see if Grayson ups the performance of his team. Damian (*) before wildly knee-jerking please factor in parachute payments and sugar-daddies.
