So, he says winning trophies isn't important or what?
@Dantes
It’s about money unfortunately.
Especially having recently built a £1bn stadium, training complex and accommodation; and making revisions to the player wages policy.
This infrastructure is building for the long term and is expensive.
Finishing top 3 and advancing to the next stage of CL would bring in a basic £250m (exc. gate receipts and other commercial benefits) and winning the FA Cup? £6m.
I’m sure they wanted to win a domestic cup but they didn’t. That’s not great but it’s not a disaster.
Poch (and the fans) might care but his employer certainly doesn’t.
City, Utd & Chelsea can afford to care strongly about the cups. Seems the rest of us can’t. It’s a pity as the FA Cup used to be really big. Now it’s a distraction, and that’s a shame.
