Well that depends on how much the club costs, and how much the owner makes. If the owner earns £50m a year, and the club costs him £20m a year, then it's not impossible to sustain.
I think he has said that he never expects (or needs) to be paid back. But yes, he deserves to not have to keep ploughing massive amounts of cash in and as you say, even one season in the top league would now mean that that would be the case.Exactly Trig. I always find it odd that people use the term 'not sustainable' when they have no idea of TB's wealth / income. There is speculation that he's already a billionaire, and the few articles you read on starlizard make reference to making £100m a year on a decent year. I would far rather we didn't need Tony's help, but that's modern football if you want to be remotely competitive. Hopefully he can be paid back over the next few years and we can bed in to a sustainable yo-yo club. I think I'd prefer yo-yo to bottom-mid PL mediocrity. Promotion and relegation battles are where the fun / stress is
But then I've already lost my hair so I've got less at stake than some
That's what Prat Sugar said a few decades ago. It's quite complex - where is the money coming from:
There was a really good article a while ago about why football economics makes absolutely no sense but is still sustainable. But I can't remember where it was or who wrote it so, er sorry.
And then what happens? Do you expect him to sell the Club? Who to? Some speculator from the far east? Some dodgy Italian crook with a track record of conning folk out of their hard-earned savings?
