That £408m is net debt, which is gross debt minus cash at bank. One reason it's gone up is because they'll have less cash now than they had in June. The other reason is that the debt is in dollars and as the pound has gone down v the dollar, the sterling value of the debt goes up. Their actual gross debt is now probably heading towards about £600m based on relative exchange rates.
So in other words, they're struggling and no CL this year would be a massive blow.
