As you will see, I am a newbie to forum posting. In the glorious past I have been happy just keeping up on games, results and news as it happened, but the only good thing ,from my point of view, about the last year is that I have felt the desire to bond with fellow fans (as well as vent my spleen!) on various forums.
Anyway, to point. I replied to a thread where I said that football clubs are too tied up with external business and that we suffer when those unrelated businesses are in trouble. This made me wonder if any clubs can be totally self-sustaining through ticket sales, advertising, media and commerce. If we started off with a clean sheet, could we make it work better next time round or would we still be reliant on the deep pockets of others?
