Would you say that clubs like Wigan, Chelsea and Fulham are run like businesses then? I wouldn't, they have a rich backer throwing in money because they want to see their club win, they could never sustain themselves without a chairman who could support them. Football is a business, but it is very different to the majority of businesses in that success is not judged by profit, it is judged by success on the pitch.Royal Rotherrhroyal we all know he sees us as a business.
But that's exactly what it is!rhroyal Maybe he thinks he'll be unpopular if he comes forward and says "I don't want to spend hundreds of millions of pounds, I'm waiting for a suitable buyer to make you a bigger club". However he seems to lack the honesty to do that,
But that's exactly what he's said!!
rhroyal, this rantfest of yours this afternoon is very very wide of the mark.
As for that's what he's said, he speaks one moment about looking for the ideal buyer, and then next week he's talking about making us a top 10 club and creating a 38,000 seater stadium.
As I have said, I can 100% understand why he doesn't want to throw money away but it's frustrating when just 12 months after feeling like we were on our way to big things we're back in the Championship. Our heads were in the clouds then and we've been brought back down to earth, but it was the words of the likes of Hammond and JM that got us all so carried away.
