It feels like this all stems from the harris signing. (i know it's almost a cliche now to say this, and no doubt someone will come along and say ''there were other underlying issues'')
It just seemed to start a chain reaction of things going wrong, and everytime something went wrong it resulted in less income and more debt.
It's like it put a curse on the club.
Top players left
league position was affected
average attendances dropped
all this resulted in significantly less income while the harris situation alone created large costs in legal fees and compensation.
Add in the fact the upkeep of odsal was costing alot and poor management who couldn't make the correct decisions to reduce the deficit.
