I wonder where all of the money is actually going to?
Player wages. That's where almost all the money goes in modern football sadly. Since they got agents and TV money came in, players have practically held the game to ransom. But I guess thats just the free market, a club's wage bill generally dictates where it will finish in the league table, and many clubs are willing to consistently overspend to finish as high as possible.
Rovers have been one of the worst culprits of that in the entire football league over the last decade. With the revenue our fanbase generates, we simply can't afford to pay players more than £10k a week without PL TV money. So Kaminski, Ayala, Dack, Gallagher, Lenihan, Rothwell, Downing, Mulgrew, Graham, Raya, Rodwell, and then pretty much the entire squad under Gary Bowyer, not to mention the wages of the 20+ decent loan signings we've had over that period.
All paid for by Venkys, all unaffordable by the revenue our fanbase generates and so wouldn't have been here without the owners money. Which goes back to the lack of realism of many Rovers fans. There's been a lot of dissatisfied fans with what they've been watching the last decade, which is bordering on comical because what we would have been watching without Venkys would have been a side of youngsters and journeymen of the type Blackpool/Preston fans get to watch, and its looking increasingly like that'll be what we're watching in future.
