They saw that their chances of going up were going so a very good move by their board and manager
Is it really a good move? Paying players way over the odds for this level at a club with a very small core support and poor facilities? Rich mans plaything, sh*t or bust, call it what you will, it's only a matter of time before the tears begin to flow and I'm not talking tears of joy.

It is, but teams have gone out of existence for lesser reasons and it is not alone that, it helps to foster and continue the ridiculous culture of spending way beyond your means that not only has football, but the financial world in general paddleless in a raging torrent of faeces.
Grump, grump, moan, moan.....eeeeee, in my day......what's the world coming to, etc
