Is this one of those things where if you say it enough you'll hopefully convince simple minded people that it's true?

I mean, lets be real - it mostly is - as it is for most clubs.

Every player, every penny spent on wages, is some investment that any club can profit off, be it from sitting higher in the league, going further in comps, sell on clauses, increase in global exposure, whitewashing murderous regimes' image and pretty much laundering their money....

Its a business - especially when you hit the heights of the premier league.

Business it is. Whatever the level.

I was with the guys who run a part time junior club in Dundee yesterday. A step below the Highland League, which is a step below the Scottish Third division. Won the league last year, didn’t get promoted. As they didn’t have the correct floodlights. They need £30k for new ones. Yesterday was all about how they could get that money - sponsorship, community events, business events, etc. No talk about the team tactics, incoming players, etc. Just business. Same all over. Everything that’s done day to day is to achieve incremental growth.

This isn’t on the players, or even a hapless manager who is plainly out of his depth. This is an utter failure of leadership at the board level. It’s too easy to sack the manager, blame injuries. Lock at scouse fc. Well run club, delivers results on pitch.

All on Levy.
