Short term of course. Which is the crux of it. All the Premier League money flushed in to the club and flushed straight out again to players, agents and other employees.
Long term over 10+ years there has to be some form of financial yield for the club over a few thousand extra people buying tickets, buying stuff in the club shop and concourses etc, then those few thousand get others involved, their families expand and so does the fan base.
You’d also have a football club that’s easier to sell if it had some form of tangible assets and it would be something much more attractive to invest in.
All great but we'd have £60m+ extra debt and not be able to sell all the tickets unless heavily discounted. You'd have to sell a lot of pies to cover the debt.
