just read that they lost £1.6million last season, on a turnover of £2million! that makes them technically insolvent (at least i can say that i have learnt something from our own precarious situation).

also, their stadium won't be finished before the season starts, and has gone massively over budget. even when it is built they won't receive the incomes from the stadium.

i feel for the fans.

They're insolvent if they can't pay the bills.

Just saying that they won't go out of business. Too much money has been put in to date and too much is at stake for them to let it happen.

I expect to see them in league 1 next season, which is shit, but likely.

I hate winkleman and everything the club stands for. I guess you cant really blame the fans although for whatever spasticated reason they think they are a big club.

You can blame the fans for supporting such a farce of a "club". Who did they support before? Why did they suddenly decide to "support" another team all of a sudden?

Quite right Karlsruhe...

Milton Keynes, you've been living hell for me,
You've goaded me since 2003,
May all the world forget you ever stood,
May all the world regret you did no good.

Sooner they've gone the better.
