Probably half the Prem teams from Swansea upwards with their absentee owners are quite happy to make a profit via TV, sponsorship deals etc but not interested in being top winning clubs, Its similar to F1 where you have 3 or 4 potential winners and 22 or 23 making up the numbers, but still making a profit.

So many owners are content to just tick over. Abramovich is a football fan and that means he wants the team to be successful. That's not to say if he was down to his last half a billion he wouldn't sacrifice success. In fact even now hes not averse to spending more on paintings than players, and boats more than the club. His predecessor though, Bates like most owners are solely interested in profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to give up watching our transfer business. Even watched it this year every chance I got. What worries me is our near future. We all had a good giggle watching Wenger not spending in the market when their stadium was being built and I'm afraid its going to be just like that with us. We will need a team of scouts looking at cheaper targets and using more of the youth. I hope i'm proved completely wrong but Romans stumping up alot of dosh for this.
