Return on investment is a total illusion in modern day football. Significant income from shirt sales is a complete fallacy. Just look at the numbers. Clubs get about 7.5% of total sales revenue. Last year Man Utd shirt revenue was £100m.
The reason the big dogs invest is pure vanity. Other than Tony Bloom at Brighton, show me one big club making money.

As far as I knew, Bloom and Brighton are servicing debts but they have made transfer profits. Obviously the ground and other things needed paying for. And Lego and airfix aren't cheap on that scale. Even using recycled bottles.
I heard Brighton are well in debt
Believe it was published recently enough.

 


Red and Blue Army!

You are right. But look who the lender is. A certain Tony Bloom.

And Football Italia would just shout his name with an Italian accent.

If you are referring to at the end of the opening credits, then no they didn't.
They said 'great goal' in italian which was something like gol-aggio.

It's long been said that Br*ghton have massive debts but unfortunately they are to Bloom and he doesn't seen to care so they just carry on as usual.

getting back to the OP,

Anthony Martial.....over priced, over rated, not good enough for Millwall or Charlton.

Has anyone mentioned Benteke? £120k pw for that sack of $hite.

 


I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Getting back to the OP, what's TR got to with this thread?-

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

How much did they cost? Over priced? Who ever rated them?

I believe Luton signed 16 players since their promotion but the overall cost was minimal by PL standards.
I am under the impression their most expensive signing was Ryan Giles from Wolves at £5 Mill.

Mo Salah.......formerly nearly as good as Messi. Now looking very average. The rest of the Liverpool team seem to be carrying him.
