| Think next year is all about cutting the wage bill by all means necessary, and hope income exceeds wages to try to cut the crippling debt.
Tony’s going nowhere and will have to manage the budget team the best he can.
Long term, the sky money is down, the covid loans need repaying, and the clock is ticking on the stadium lease deal.
Even if a new stadium deal is reached, it will align with the true loss of running the stadium, so will be a big increase at best, and without the mystery 1500 tickets bought by the SMC per match which artificially inflates your attendances. Maybe only 2 stands will be opened per match is a real possibility. There is no way Hull City will continue to generously subside your tenancy.
In turn, I can’t see any upturn in player quality for some significant time, unless Adam moves on and new investment is found, which won’t happen without a new stadium lease in place.
It’s a doom and gloom scenario, but prove me wrong !

| One thing to keep an eye on, just read an interview with Tony Sutton explaining IMG will look to use attendances from stadium safety officers as well as looking at long term crowd data to suss out any fiddling.
Worrying for us as we count tickets sold whether people attend or non. I reckon there was in reality only 7k there on Sunday and if we don't buck out ideas up we can easily slip below the 7.5k points threshold

We’ll be fine. The two Derby attendances alone will boost our average this season.
Not sure how it affects any clubs unable to declare their ‘sell out’ attendances?

Don't all clubs do that?

I'm sure we'll be fine. The attendances have been poor for the last three games but just a bit of on field improvement and hopefully a bit more good news with regards recruitment and investment and the figures will rise again.
