@ John H yes increased turnover means more money but if your costs go up you don't really have more money do you. Clubs could have a turnover of 500 million but if their operating costs are 650 million the turnover is meaningless. The whole premier league is a train wreck waiting to happen. Clubs overpaying for average players and agents basically holding clubs to ransom is the biggest cause. You can say well they are only paying what the transfer market values them at but the market isn't really accurate when none of the clubs make a profit.

But the fact they don't make a profit is irrelevant to the transfer market values if clubs are still prepared to pay it, despite making a loss. It's simple supply and demand.

Is it a train wreck waiting to happen? Yes it is, I don't like it, but it is the reality. The Germans are the ones who are going to be laughing when it all goes tits up. Well, specifically Bayern are going to be laughing, no-one else has a pot to piss in due to their rules.
