So are you saying you'd be okay with an initial large outlay of funds to kick start a club and build a fanbase/extra revenue streams?
I don't think anyone has an issue with a injection of cash into clubs. The issue is the continued reckless spending.
In terms of building extra fan base. Thats not really going to happen and City is a perfect example. Due to the tribalistic nature of european soccer.
Extra revenue streams, you mean shady over inflated sponsorship deals. No way you can say with a straight face the naming rights to City's stadium is worth 350 million pounds.

So you're not totally in favor of FFP either.

If the club has a contract, that's going to guarantee a revenue source for the club for the length of that deal and won't add debt on the club. I don't see what the issue is.
That's not really what I meant though. Chelsea, through their success, has expanded their fan base dramatically over the last 10 years, which equates to more shirt/merchandise sales and completely legitimate sponsorships that they would not have gotten if not for their spending in the first 6-8 years of the Abramovich era. That model is now illegal.

There are droves upon droves of American Chelsea fans, many of whom would have picked another club if not for their recent success.
Hell, after the news the other day there are a bunch of Chelsea fans who live in freaking Manchester apparently. Europe is not immune from bandwagoning.

I went to a bar in Austin for the final day last season and there were at least 100 people wearing City shirts.
