Clubs aren't in a position to stand still, account carefully and make a small profit every year. Any of the bottom 13 teams that tries that will be joining us in the second tier. You don't think businesses go through multi-year periods of reduced income? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_cycle There is absolutely no reason why a well run club cannot absorb multiple years of relegation.

Of course it can, but then it that is the case, the playing staff are probably so poor they will never really compete in the first place. Which is what we all want. You get what you pay for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but, we don't want that do we? Is that not what they're doing now? I'm sure it makes good business sense... I don't want a profitable business. I want a football club.

Leicester this season), that that is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think the thread can be summed up: Yes - it is theoretically possible, no - it is not practically possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
