This season is shaping up to be a total disaster, but consider the situation the club is in: we have an owner who simply doesn't have the cash to fund a club at our level. So, he has three options:
1) Sell us
2) Try and run us on the cheap
3) Borrow to fill the funding gap
T' Prince is trying to do 1 but nobody - with any cash, anyway - is buying. So what does he do in the meantime?
If all of the above follows - let me know if it doesn't - then out of options 2 and 3, 2 is the sensible one. Sure, we'll take the sort of spanking a High Court judge would pay for and get relegated, but we won't be in existential peril. In my view, the worst course of action would be to try and chuck a load of borrowed money at keeping us up, especially when borrowing is likely to have become costlier for clubs like it has generally.
I'm trying to find positives, granted.
