Rotherham expect to break even this season, after losing £1.8million last season.
Chairman Denis Coleman told the local paper: "We are not breaking even on a weekly basis but you get Sponsorship deals and Football League money throughout the year. If we can get the gates up then we will be in a healthier position but the gate sizes don't pay half of what we need in this club. We have taken a pessimistic view on the gate sizes and budgeted accordingly.
"At the beginning of last year this club had debts of several hundred thousands racked up, was losing £140,000 per month and was days away from going into liquidation. We simply had to attack it the best way we knew how which, in our case, was looking at the excess costs and trying to reduce them while working as hard as we could to try and increase the income and revenue.
"We haven't always got it right and there are untapped streams of income we should have got into which we haven't but the facilities here hold us back and, due to legal reasons, we can't make the most use of them."
Coleman has been on the verge of walking away. He, and the consortium that took over the club, were given a heroes welcome when they arrived to save the club in 2006, but that has been replaced with discontent and moaning at the relegation and subsequent failure to automatically leap to the top of the division:
"The board are putting a lot of time and energy into running this club and keeping it going. When I hear supporters having a go it is very disappointing. There will always be rumours, but half of them are not even worth responding too. I can only imagine that the people who make up these stories have nothing better to do with their time.
"I have felt so strongly about it over the last eighteen months that I wonder, is it worth it? It is only my pride and the love of Rotherham United that stop me from walking away."
