What amazes me is it's taken this long for the press to get onto this. It's all over social media and the press have completely ignored it.Brilliant article that. If you want a condensed take away, this from their top lads' Facebook page...

I'm beautiful. I'm fantastic. I'm a great leader. I'm a great boss. Look at me. Me. Me. Me. me.
Agree. TV money is by and large evenly spread, so that's every club in the PL taking an almost similar increase in revenue. It is still quite astonishing that they have the 8th highest revenue in the PL, only beaten by Leicester who had CL football giving them approx £40m bump. Yet year in year out they fight off relegation or go down.^ Well admittedly I didn't pull out the calculator or anything, but how sustainable is that? They made more money because they sold players (and in particular Payet), as well as their ground. Otherwise increased expenses ate away at the revenue that every club gets through the TV deal and the league? I mean sure...maybe that's amazing in the shorter term because the financials don't look terrible for now. What happens when you have nothing left to sell?
