He could be a proud chihuahua but he remains a chihuahua. - Paolo Di Canio Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:43:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://avoidingthedrop.com/2009/12/23/money-for-nothing/comment-page-1/#comment-9422 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 02:22:23 +0000 http://avoidingthedrop.com/?p=4750#comment-9422 Also, I take it that the “reasonable” TV+local revenues numbers are somewhere in the 80-90 million pound range? I’m basing that on the cluster of teams in the 37-45 million pound range. Add academies/youth setups, transfer fees and simple organizational overhead, which I’m guessing is close to a 2-1 ratio, does that seem reasonable? Obviously, pulling in 50K+ attendance at games, or having more overseas fans/sales, can adjust that, but does that seem like a reasonable “base” revenue number for an EPL team to work from? Just curious, and not looking for a definitive answer…

WTF are they doing, if they’re not reaching Burnley’s levels of spending, and still seemingly being in trouble? How do you pull that double off?
