I didn't realize how much we'd have to spend
and bringing it back but it was it was what i like is looking for something to you know instead of buying up here buying down here and then getting it up there and you spent way more bringing it back than you did on purchasing the actual team by multiples yes yeah we did and we did a lot of due diligence and we were
underestimating we had to build a whole new stand sprinkler systems exits uh get rid of safe standing or standing uh food was awful and we're still working on things that i learned at disney and we like what well we had the uh when the fans were running it the management was doing great but i had them come up and go to disney university to learn the obvious which is how to take care of
the public, and we've worked on that.
We've worked on everything to do with dealing with the public.
And of course, we've improved the squad.

The pyramid in English football, the pyramid starts with the Premier League with 20 teams, and then there's 72 teams in the EFL below the pyramid.

Everybody loses money.
Parliament has made a law
with an administrator who's going to adjudicate how the money gets determined.
Right now, the Premier League in the media takes 96% of the revenue for 20 teams, and 4% goes to the other 72 teams, which means the other 72 teams are all losing money and going broke, except for the ones that are owned by super...
billionaires and Eastern monarchs and things like that.
So the economics are very difficult, but they'll get better.
