Also, another obvious point that is constantly overlooked, but why is the money our owners have put into the club never just considered an investment? Instead they act like they've just thrown money down the shitter, rather than wisely invested to increase the value of the company? They act like the only way to make money from a business is making a profit, so we'll never make a billion in profit so we've wasted the money, but that's not how investing works at all?
Even with David Conn's presumably generously inflated figure of £1.3bn investment, we sold 14% to the Chinese for £265m, meaning the club was valued at about £1.9bn? So that's a handy £600m in gains already, with the club obviously poised to only increase in value. Again, am I missing something?
