Indeed. Imagine 'investing' £100 million and it doesnt work out

Even from a zero debt position the potential to spend far more than the PL payments provide is huge.
This is taken from an online source 'Bournemouth's gross financial debt grew £19m from £165m to £184m, as the amount owed to the club's owner Maxim Demin (via his company AFCB Enterprises Ltd) increased by £36m to £165m, but bank loans reduced by £17m to £19m.
Ironically, scum would probably have been 'safer' with Evans continuing to waste his own money and with them sittingmid table in the Championship.
The Americans won't give money away from a fund which is relied upon by (amongst other) retired emergency service workers.
To consolidate, they would need to keep McKenna and if they do stay up in year 1 he will be amongst the most desired targets for a much bigger club than Ipswich.
