Oh great, another "but the cost of the stadium" thread.
The club is already filthy rich, incredibly profitable and amazingly solid.
Furthermore, the financial impact of the stadium, once completed, won't be that huge. It's not like it all of the sudden will negate the gap to any club ahead of us in the league revenuewise. We'll still be more or less the 5-6th biggest club measured by revenue (unsure whether we will in fact overtake Liverpool. Probably not, but we'll get very close).
So we'll still be best of the rest, scraping by to sign the best of the players the other top PL clubs won't have. Nothing wrong with that, really. However the only sure thing about the stadium is all the myths it has been the cause of.
