Are you genuinely retarded or just pretending to be?
We spend £5M on a couple of decent players who help the team qualify for the group stages which makes us £10M instantly. Going by my maths, we've just made a £5M profit therefore we've made money by spending money.
You seem like an incredibly bright chap. I'm sure there's a future for you in explaining to the multi-millionaire businessmen who own football clubs, what the best ways are for them to make money. After all, you clearly have it sussed, and it's very simplistic. You wanna patent this idea, immediately.
After all, spending £5m on a couple of decent players GUARANTEES you get into the knockout rounds. There could be no possible reason why it'd be difficult to get a couple of decent players, for £5m, who'd be interested in playing in that Mickey Mouse league, who would GUARANTEE you'd get into the group stage. Those couple of decent players, in a sport of 11 v 11, would GUARANTEE you make the group stages, in which case you wouldn't be running any risk at all of losing your £5m investment, then possibly not being able to attract any better players the next year, then being left with the cost of the salary for these expensive players, then having other members of your team unhappy that their salaries are comparatively low, then they want increased salaries ... and so on.
Or maybe i'm just retarded, right.
