Our problems will be the forerunner of a growing number of FL clubs and will seriously put into question if the current structures of Leagues 1 and 2 will ultimately be changed to a North and South structure.

The real answer is there in front of the FA's face. They need to distribute the income far more fairly to the lower leagues and the grass roots. Including Ladies football. The whole financial structure has been in need of a fairer system for years. It is poor when league clubs are threatened with going out of business due to lack of finance or even worse poor management. I don't mean the football manager. If the people who are in charge of a club whether they own it or not They FA should have a team of experienced people to be able to help a club out with advice or if it is beyond that the FA should take over the running of the club until a new owner can be found.
