If it’s profitable why would you need owners with money to keep it afloat
It's profitable if you actually sell the players it produces for more than a pittance, or in the case of the likes of Loader, Richards, etc, anything at all.
Which means you don’t need a rich owner to fund it.
Wasn't Andrew's point that with a rich (and willing) owner you're not having to sell below market rate in firesales so academy can generate profit without owner's subsidy.
