They have got players who were signed from decent clubs and will be closer to championship wages than league 2 so must be haemorrhaging cash with the small crowds they get.
The main tactic is long balling it to Matt Smith, the tall striker who scored for Oldham v Liverpool when they beat them over 10 years ago on a live FA Cup Sunday night game. Smith is now carrying visible chunk around the waist, but their most dangerous player. in his mid thirties. At the opposite end they have a short error prone 'keeper, and the 9 players in between aren't too bad, but seem disinterested after stepping down for the money at league 2.
If they go down I think it is game over for them as a league club, as whilst they get crowds to make them a viable league 2 club, they aren't being run within the parameters of a small league 2 club and the model is not sustainable. They were £11.5m in debt last accounts, likely to end up £20m in the near future as that was 18 months ago, with the club worth about £2m? They have got their publicity they crave, and it will have runs its course.
