What's the (estimated) net income for the teams in the league? How much has the value of those teams increased year on year?<br><br>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.<br><br>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.HankTue, 30 Sep 2008 13:57:03 -0000http://www.epltalk.com/football-clubs-must-be-laughing-all-the-way-to-the-bank/3341#comment-2750585Las Vegas has the same appreciation for most of its best customers.Dave's Football BlogTue, 30 Sep 2008 10:19:15 -0000
