All I got to say is

[urchinman1961]

the majority of clubs have got it bad just some a lot worse than others

[I am Spartacus]

The trouble with football clubs is that a lot of them build into there budgets expected revenues and not just actual. For instance I imagine that Hx did not build in a cup run that they are having so this will help a decline elsewhere.Whereas I know of at least 1 club that built a cup run into there budget and never got pass the stage of getting any monies.

 

Now that can only spell disaster. Speculate on the low and realistic side and take the extra as a cushion for the following season/s.

arsenal's financial management should take a bow here...

"Arsenal are so focused on sustainability their budgets are based on attendances of 50,000 - around 10,000 fewer than the regular gates - and on forecasts of only qualifying for the Champions League every four years. They owe it to Wenger that it has not come to that yet. "
