I don't think you can say that categorically. We're £343k up year over year and running a U23s set-up. It's not as if all costs are fixed and we simply bank any Wembley upside, decisions will be made flexibly. There's always work to do to optimise income. This is a big season for the club in this respect IMO. For most fans we had false dawns in 91 and 05/6, can 16 success be built upon? If so there's a chance of stepping up numbers for 2018 and beyond.
Oh yes we're experienced in self-destruction after a bit of success, but I have faith that Pearson will manage us sensibly, and we won't have to selling off our best players to stay afloat. I also think Motu has done a good job with the recruitment, unlike post 2006 when we gradually lost the likes of Swain, Cooke, Brough, Carvell and replaced them with (mostly) injury wrecks, aussie plodders and young kids on loan from Leeds.
