With respect, when you look at some of the people running football clubs I don’t think you have to be Einstein. I keep reading about ‘expertise’ as if it’s some incredibly complicated science. You put on games, you take money, you try not to spend more than you take. It’s basic stuff but it’s time consuming and you need reliable people to help you.

That's great if you're after a local community club.  Bredon AFC near me is a great example. But the reality is that if you want to progress up the pyramid you need proper investment and that means ambition and money and preferably to be in a densely populated area where:you have a choice of hungry decent wannabe players.  Even then you have to accept that the current closed shop which is the EPL and Championship will prevent you surviving in their elite, let alone progressing, without eye watering money.
