Generally speaking a Team's position in the football hierarchy is dependent on the finances available to that club. The richer the Club, the higher you move up the leagues; less money down the pyramid you go.
Over the next few years, assuming we hold onto Jim, we could possible make the second division. The progress to that position could be accelerated if a true County fan, with a few bob in his pocket, would buy the ground from the council and donate to the Club without any strings. To progress further than league 2 we would need a backer. This when the problems arise. The investor comes along and, probable to avoid Tax, and puts his money in the Club and up the leagues we go. Great! However, one of two scenarios occur: 1. The investor gets bored with his adventure as a Football Club owner and pulls out, but not before selling the players to get his money back (i.e. Vic Bernard and our friend from Sheffield). or 2. They die and their widow wants her husbands investment back and the Club have to sell the players (Barlow). Either way we end up back at square one. As most of you are aware, I've been watching County for many many years and have accepted that our finances will always be at a level where we watch basement football.
