the club still has a value far greater than its debt, therefore it will not go out of business in the short term.
the threat is that once trophy success dries up, so will many income streams.
Woolworths is not exactly a global brand so hardly a comparison. Football does not need rich owners, it needs businessmen with a passion for the game and real supporters. The thing i really dont understand is since Sky got involved and so much money came into the game, transfers became stupidly high, only the players make money in football, what other businesses (outside of banks) allows its employees to to be the only people making amazing money/profits? I cant understand why the likes of the respective football leagues around europe cant come up with something like salary caps or a better solution to average players making millions a year
