This isn't so much a debate about our club or investment, but just assuming:
a hypothetical club - lets call it - Righton and Cove Albion had 150k to spend up to end of the last transfer window but the then manager (who we shall call Mick Mackie) for whatever reason (be it him, the board, not suitable players etc.) didn't spend it.
The transfer window closes and therefore no signings can be made (except olduns and young uns). The manager is sacked (unfairly say some) The crowds drop over the next 4 months to the point that any money (assuming it existed) has been eaten up (at 1000 supporters a game for 12 games at £20 each this would be £240k which is more than the £150k)
When the window reopens, the money is no longer there as it is now used to cover the day to day losses plus a windfall of cash from a cup run is being used to make up this shortfall and pay more legal costs to secure a new stadium.
Is it right that the club in question was not able to make changes outside of that window that would have stopped the loss of crowds?
Simply put - is the transfer window a good or bad thing?
Discuss.
