Anyone else seen this snippet about Bolton being £163m odd in debt and blaming it on the drop out of the premiership, falling advertising and sponsorship revenue.

Thinking any club that is on the mid table/ bubble or the promotion/relegation yoyo, needs to think seriously about relegation clauses in contracts, guaranteeing revenue whatever league you are in, and live within their means, so that falling out of the premiership doesn't break you financially.
Or is that too depressing, should chairmen only think about staying in the premiership at all costs, rather than planning for the day that they may drop out of it?
