Personally, I think that's probably the greatest threat - a lot of clubs from League 1 downwards are reliant on owners who have done well for themselves out of quite small businesses and taken on their local clubs for a variety of philanthropic reasons, with no intention of making any money out of it, indeed expecting to have pour money into the bottomless pit. In times like this, for folks in this position, it's not a choice between continuing support for the club and the business - if the business goes, the club goes anyway.
Fingers crossed ……..
