Problem: we make a lot more than just gate receipts. Tv money, licensing, sponsorship. All that stuff. Where's all that money Terry? We are going to replace decent young players who formed the core of the team SG is trying to build and who have improved consistently as a group over the last few seasons, with neverhasbeens and loanees. That is not how you build a team to compete at the highest level. The club will never progress on the cheap - it's not possible. Meanwhile season ticket prices rise inexorably to gargantuan levels and we all trot along like sheep. Say what you want about the scousers - least they don't put up with this sh!t.
I'm am not arguing for spend spend spend, just sustainable investment in the team and not White elephant radio stations, conference centres and beeston fine dining.
