Bristol City's financial difficulties in recent years have been well documented and the impact it has had on player recruitment in the transfer market.
The Robins were one of six clubs that didn't fork out a fee this summer as manager Nigel Pearson made it abundantly clear that money would have to be raised in order to bring in new players.
Despite that, it hasn't had an adverse impact on the club's progression on the pitch with plenty of reasons to remain optimistic after the opening 10 games of the season. The Robins sit ninth, just one point adrift of the playoffs, but they could arguably be among the top six if it wasn't for dodgy referee decisions and individual mistakes.
