It's impossible to square without sizeable investment in our infrastructure.
As things stand we are too "revenue-small" if such a phrase exists.
However, an increase in the capacity and facilities at Fratton Park so that you can have more season ticket holders (25k at £400 helps to bridge the Championship finance gap) and more revenue flowing in through events at the "stadium" outside of match days. If you also develop a successful academy for players (with some homegrown player sales thrown-in) and the numbers in the Championship might just start to make sense.
Cash from the owners for stadium development - yes please. This would also increase the value of their asset.
Cash from the owners for increasing players wages - no thanks, we've been down that road before.
