what i wish to said has been said by zocoss.
Winning Trophies is important, in the eyes of fans, manager, and
the board and shareholders.
Shareholders, when at the end of the financial year, may not
only look at the sucess the club brings in the football pitch but
at the balance sheet. As how profitable the club is generally means
how much dividends they are getting. Winning Trophies also
increases the revenue of the club, as they are given prize money,
TV revenue and many others.
but
Success on the footballing pitch counts for nothing if the club
is unable to sustain their spending and costs until a day, they
have to declare bankrupt if they do not have any financial backing
from a sugar daddy.. (Im not quoting any example just stating a
fact)
Spend within your means and aim for trophies. =)
I do agree with you, spend within your means and fight. but may
I know which teams are spending within their means and still able
to challenge the top 4?
everton? villa?I believe most teams in EPL are fighting not to
win the title as they know it is dominated by top 4 but rather,
trying to go into europe where the $ is.
Yes, I do agree Chelsea burnt money like nothing, but to be
fair, MU did the same before them, like in EJJ, Kleberson, Veron,
Forlan, and etc.Let's not deny, Liverpool also spend alot under
their french manager. I feel MU has a more bigger fan base
due to their history and thus able to cover back. And of course, MU
has a much better winning record in the EPL (note, I mean Premier
League).
