They are the best run club in the league because their owners are criminals (not war criminals, afaik). We cannot and will not ever be able to operate in their way unless we also have this type of ownership, so to compare and contrast is a bit pointless unless the hope is that we are sold to similar, no? We cannot operate like they can without doing a deal with the devil, so where is the sense in coveting it?all that can be absolutely true, and you can still learn from what they’ve done well. Idk why people have a hard time with nuance. Their owners are war criminals, and they’re also the best run club in the league. These aren’t things that contradict each other.
They have the best football operation, because the very best want to work only for them, because they own the premier league title, because they have broken the league, and because they have unlimited income. It's not replicable here.
