Should any Sussex supporters have been in any doubt as to the seriousness of the club’s financial plight, they were made abundantly clear at a question and answer session following the club’s AGM last night.<\/p>\n

The 12-point County Championship deduction for this season has so far been the main headline but the consequences of the club running out of cash run far deeper.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Mark West clearly laid out the conditions under which the club must now operate to comply with ECB bailout, perhaps most notably that the club will need the governing body’s permission to sign any new players.<\/p>\n

However, the main wrath of the meeting was directed to members of the board -some of whom have now resigned – as to how the club had recorded a trading loss of \u00a31.3m for 2025, with a further loss of \u00a31m expected this year.<\/p>\n

In answer to a question from the floor, West concluded that despite exploring all options the club had run out of cash, and had no option than to accept the conditions imposed by the ECB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
