Even much bigger clubs like Dundee and Hearts have suffered because of outside cash being pumped into the club, without the basic financial stability to maintain any sort of longevity. This is a hugely repugnant aspect of modern day football.
Frankly, I think Gretna deserve to go into administration. They are a poorly run club who barely have the fan-base to survive two divisions beneath the SPL, let alone the SPL itself. Ideas above their station. A club has to grow over a period of years and years. Not three seasons. It is not viable. Gretna's situation is now evidence of that.

Very well put and my sentiments exactly. Although despite my dislike for both Dundee and Hearts, I'd be genuinely disappointed to see any proper clubs such as them go out of existence.
I'm more interested in whether or not Fort William fold...
