Some actual analysis might be interesting.

Do premier league clubs actually make money? What's the (estimated) net income for the teams in the league? How much has the value of those teams increased year on year?

I would guess that owning a sports team, especially in the premier league, which provides no profit sharing or salary caps, isn't a free ride and I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few clubs lost money.

It's true that owners take full "advantage" of their fans support - one could certainly argue that they abuse it. Fans for their part expect, owners to pony up the cash for new stadiums and players on a regular basis.
