My point is we are trying to do something that is not possible and be self sustaining, it's just not possible in the top echelons in football with the money in football in terms of players wages

How can you not run as a business in any sustainable way?Originally Posted by Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie
Because the cost in terms of players and players wages will always greatly outweigh any money you make from match day revenues, conmercial deals etc.
You can be sustainable but not if you want to challenge
Case in point, Mesut Ozil when you consider his transfer few plus his wages plus signing on fee and adds on, I strongly suspect the 120million we supposedly have in reserve would have been mostly used on this.
How is that possible?
43 million transfer fee
150 grand a week wages over five years = another 40 million
Plus add ons and signing on fee and you are looking close to 100 million
Yes, wages over 5 years. We don't pay that much outright.
OK. So the two options are:
a) A sugar daddy
b) A non-sustainable model which at some point will surely collapse a la Leeds.
No?
That's exactly it, money wins out...I'm not saying either way is desirable but unless we introduce a transfer and wage cap it's the only way clubs will win.
I'd rather us be sustainable but we can't expect to have a pot to piss in
Yeah but there is a middle ground. It's not a choice between having a 120million in the bank or being a 120million in the red.
