it's a good idea, they compared the EPl to Bundesliga on SSN yesterday, they operate much more profitably, have lower prices, more fans, more revenue

Could a Chairman sponsor the team with his own company and pay a ridiculous amount of money so it looks like revenue?

The Bundesliga is the model everyone should be following tbh. They have excellent stadia, low prices and still have the second largest revenue stream in world football behind the Premiership.

Because they said they will monitor stuff to make sure that does not go on, they used the example of someone selling a few boxes in the stadium for 10 million which would then make the accounts much healthier but would be picked up and discounted.
Will be interesting to see how ManCity do this with thier current 107% of revenue in players wages alone.
Arsenal are sitting pretty

I was thinking about that for when I win a 10x Euro millions rollover.
How could I help out Crewe? Buy the team? Nah, I think it'd be too much hassle, buy every ticket, every home match and let the fans come for free? Yeah, would be the better option, they might even get over half capacity then
