Until they start running things in a profitable way he should be spending the bare minimum to keep us afloat. With the FFA out of the picture hopefully this happens soon. There's a market there if they cut out the salary cap and let clubs spend as little or as much as they like to be profitable. I'll go watch the league whether it's full of Ronaldo's or Hoole's, just don't charge me Ronaldo ticket pricing for Hoole quality players.
What gets me about this. And it's just not football specific but applies to all of the codes. Why are they so poor?

When you consider the superior television coverage that the football codes have. They all scream poor. Yet a Supercar team can spend up to 10 million per year. I know that Kelly Racing received 3 Million per year for hiring Simona De Silvestro. That's 12 million per year (4 car team) plus development costs (they were a homogolator)

Certain people are obviously putting themselves first before the good of the game.
