The administration has to be sustainable, not just pile up bills. He revealed that they are normally forced to look for different sources of revenue when they can find sponsorships.
Bennett revealed that an ideal budget should be around $13 million. However, they have access to $5 million this season.
There are eight teams in the Championship League; these teams are divided into two zones. On the other hand, there are 16 teams from four zones in the Major League.
