Problem is clubs can't do that at present without creating an additional expense on top of the existing 1-2 million a year they are blowing. Unfortunately the salary cap is far too high and out of whack with the income the clubs are making
Clubs getting ripped off is mainly down to their own inability to negotiate. Look at our CEO He gives Ryan Griff away and then sells a promising striker who has just been to the WC and bagged the golden boot award last season for 400k tops as that was the most HE agreed when signing this blokes contract. Middleby is not alone here as the rest of the clubs ain't much better
The issue with a foreign club owning the club is the complete lack of long term loyalty to the Aussie club. Very easy for them to **** the club up enough and send them extinct by walking out the door cause after all there number one priority is to their own interest.
Nothing wrong with foreign ownership ie some Foreign Rich Bloke as such.
Have big issues with clubs doing what Man City are doing with Heart.
Its all good in the honeymoon period with leads to problems eventually when the flow of money is reduced.
Good news is Heart were already a basket case. A couple of years of City running the show may be enough to kick start enough interest in the club to be able to survive with Man City walking out which is in this situation a better scenario than what would have occurred with the direction Heart were going on there own
