It is a fairly lengthy read though, so only browse if you've got a spare few minutes on your hands.

A messy and complicated financial situation at the Dale, until recently a well-run lower league club with goodish support in the town. I hope they can come through this, I cut my teeth watching soccer at Spotland 56/57.

There are dozens of clubs, including Championship ones ,that are hanging on by the skin of their teeth living way above their means it won't end well for many, I fear
