Jack Buckner admits the only way is up for UK Athletics after a disastrous set of financial figures left the governing body in a perilous position.
“I’m not going to sit here and say it’s plain sailing because it’s not,” the European 5,000m champion turned chief executive said of a £1.8 million loss which leaves his organisation with just £431,000 in reserves.
“It’s tough, it’s difficult, it’s challenging, there’s no getting away from that. I hope it will be [the low point], it’s my absolute intention that it is, but we’ve work to do.”
