This would only be the case if the stadium move was an end goal rather than the means to an end. The additional finances are not the prize, the resources they can buy are what we're after. If those resources end up in a shirt then this has been a success. If not then it'll get nasty. Either way, I can't imagine there's a single fan out there who takes the finances as an ultimate prize over and above what happens on the pitch.
