The business > model is not to expand beyond Elland Rd I don't think? If non-match day businesses are self-sufficient how do they ensure the club has revenue streams throughout the year? If all their 'profits' go towards improving their own product what was the point in the parent entity investing in them at all? If the ROI for the parent isn't as good as can be got from the Liquid Gold account at the Leeds Perm then the investment is misplaced, surely? If the aim is to give the club 365 days a year income then the profits must come back to the club on a regular basis otherwise the club only has the same 22 pay days as it gets without them but without the initial lump sum.
