99 per cent of the turnover of £17.7m was accounted for by wages, which is a worryingly high figure.   10 per cent of that is paid to directors which is higher than normal for a football club.   Two directors who left the club during the year received payments totalling £468.000.

Accountants Deloittte added a note to the accounts stating that there was material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
