On this behind the scenes thingy........
I'm siding with H on this, on the grounds that I can find no alternative to my theory that the whole thing was planned spend, apart of course from the concert fiasco. And that is based on the fact that we've got at least 3 business leaders on the Board. Now they could of course have said 'heyup lads, we are running a loss, but it's all planned'. But they didn't, the nincompoops.
There were rumours - albeit from sources proven pretty accurate before and after - that Cook was told he'd have no budget extension towards the end of last season (it was probably mentioned on here, but I can't be bothered to go through the archives).
That suggests the full extent of losses came as a shock to DA.
'Nincompoops' might be somewhat charitable given some of what has, and continues to unfurl at CFC.
