Imagine County only losing 1 million a season Would be excellent, if it wasn't on top of previous £32million losses. Over how long? Bet we get there quicker

Would be excellent, if it wasn't on top of previous £32million losses. Fascinating interview with Ipswich Town’s CEO on The Price of Football Podcast out today discussing their promotion from League One to The Championship, the headlines (numbers) of which are; Average Attendance 30,000 (WU prices similar to ours, their STs a bit cheaper) Shirt Sales 50,000 (£4M in Club shop) Biggest iFollow views in the EFL (didn’t give £) Transfer Net Spend £Nil A hugely successful season Lost £10M Their prize..? The Championship, where the current average losses are £470,000.00 per club per week (£24.5M) Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it Shows what a fallacy the idea is that we ‘need to spend more now to get promoted, once we’re up we’ll be more sustainable’ is

If we’d have gone up we’d have had a few big games against Derby, Bolton and, erm, probably others. But there’s also plenty of games against the likes of Burton, Cheltenham, Cambridge, Northampton etc. I don’t think we’d suddenly have people beating down the door to get in. Championship is different but at the cost of losing hundreds of thousands a week? I remember Wilson and Stott at the fans forum in 2021, they talked about the whole ‘Championship in seven years’ thing and actually said the idea was to be a ‘top 30 club’ in that time. So top 10 of the Championship as that would position us for the Premier League. Whatever losses we incur over the next five seasons, one season in the Premier League would absolutely wipe them out and be worth tens of millions more. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s quietly being spoken about as the plan.

With a finish after being relegated closer to the bottom than the top of the league with falling gates. Next season is going to be a bigger one for donny rovers than anyone for me as they have reached a crossroads.

Would expect all or nearly all clubs in EFL make a loss …. but also to accumulate some assets along the way!

Yes, and we might actually start getting more patiance if the latter happened and success would feel a lot sweeter.

They have beaten many other league 2 offers Just looked him up, a 20 year old signed by Boro a year ago and loaned out to Gateshead, I'm not sure we need another one for the future, I'm not saying he won't be a good player but Watford let him go and now Boro have too, he'd be another loaned out straight away.

Yes, and we might actually start getting more patiance if the latter happened and success would feel a lot sweeter. We’ve made a start on that TBF We shouldn’t be looking at Tanto and Stretton as First Team regulars this year; they have been signed with their personal development and long term value in mind - It is only necessity that forced them to step up at the back end of last season and whilst it will have done them a great deal of good to prove their worth it will be hugely detrimental to consider them ready because they are not - the pressure is on this season - it should be placed on the shoulders of experienced League Players not prospects For a multitude of reasons we have to sign a Target Man - not doing so will be as harmful, if not more, than failing to sort out LCB last Summer
