Because they're owned by a billionaire, it's that simple. Basically every club in the Championship loses astonishing amounts of money. Hardly any football clubs in the pyramid are financially viable businesses in their own right with wage levels where they are.
Our whole game is utterly in thrall to money, usually rich single investors. It's not a good place to be, and wouldn't wish it on any club.

I don't think you need a Guardian subscription to read Telegraph articles There is a bit more info about it here https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-city-ceo-sends-message-6477092Seems like their issue is going to come next year whereby if they fail to make a huge profit they are going to breach a threshold (39 million) and face a points deduction next season.

Yet we're known as Swindle. Over spending by £10 million a year for a few decades is cheating, no matter how they try to dress it up.

Surely they must have broken sustainability rules and should get a points deduction- Reading did recently. Think they’ve lost in one year what you’re allowed to lose in 3

Just have to look at Derby to see what happens with the money men pull out. Tbf, I wouldn’t put Lansdown in the same league as Mel Morris. The problem is those losses have only sustained their Championship status - got nowhere near the Prem. Chickens coming home to roost at a few clubs now.
