Cleverly done this year. Get some signings in early, make it look like things have changed, then sell the key players out from under the team. More profits, another con job, raise the prices again maybe, get more corporate types in and fuck the fans out of it. Ideally go for an empty stadium but with every ticket sold. Will be pretty cheap maintaining an empty stadium. More lovely profits. You can't say these boys don't know how to turn a trick.
