Some on here are pointing out that money buys progress, and many clubs use it, then subsequently lose it. My point is more about football than about the cash angle, though I realise the link. I believe every team does a “Chesterfield”, all the time. All teams are formed by taking on players who didn’t quite make it in a bigger and more talented team, plus nicking the best players from below. It describes the whole system since it started at the turn of the 20th century. Stephen Cleeve is the first one whose generosity has enabled us to make any real progress within that system.
0Re the last sentence... personally a big fan of the Trust model, but also a big fan of what SC has brought to the club over the last few years........perhaps instead of generosity, I would use input, energy, tenacity, money, love of the game and some nous too.
Clubs of long standing at this level have a full compliment of money spinners swelling the coffers.Big monies coming in on Sponsorship deals. A fully up to speed commercial department and a Supporters Club sticking in decent amounts. Just a few examples.

Yes has to be any day now KES. One looks very interesting.
In fairness B&G. As much as this level is new to the club on the field the same has to apply off it.Clubs of long standing at this level have a full compliment of money spinners swelling the coffers.Big monies coming in on Sponsorship deals.
