The Sky must have already have been spent.
VAT and other taxes.
There are also wages, running costs as with any other business.
In the off season there maybe little or no income coming in but money will still be going out.
If their revenue consist of Sky payments, match day receipts, sponsorship, golden goal.
It is soon spent.
The persuit of success or survival can easily outstrip income with so few pay days.

But how many players would have jumped ship already?

They may be saved from liquidation, but I doubt that they'll retain their current playing budget with minus 12 points hanging over them.

Sensible thing would be to cut costs a bit, keep enough talent to catch Rochdale / Swinton. Then have a proper go at promotion next year when Toronto aren't the competition.

Unless their new consortium has very deep pockets...
