Once again, the value in the club is in what it would cost to build the stadium, training ground and brand, which is why they have the valuation they do.  Yes investment in playing squad is needed, but everything else is in place.  That saves potentially hundreds of millions of investment to create a premier league team.

Challenge being that football is a brutal game. 
 

You don’t need a training ground like ours to win major trophies. You’ve only got to see that we’ve got millions walking out the door on free transfers like Motsi etc to the likes of Manchester City to see that it is a broken investment model. 
 

A scouting setup is worth far, far more realistically than a training ground.

It’s the Macquarie debt which is essentially being used as a cash advance on money we haven’t yet received, at high interest rates. That still exists as debt.

You know the pot is empty when we’re using Macquarie to gives us immediate funds from the sale of an £8m player.

This might have been true once, but it certainly isn't these days.  With data, AI and the right talent I think you could set that up pretty quickly.
