I think you're wrong. Bad stories over time will grind down our attractiveness as a club to sponsors. You think that Nike or whoever will be more or less likely to chuck a load of cash at us after this?
Anyway, it's not just about commercial shit. We're talking about the club's responsibilities as a national institution. If you think those sorts of things don't matter, you're singing off a completely different hymn sheet from me. More people care about this sort of thing than you think, I reckon.
Do you think Nike from America or AIA from Asia will give a fuck about that club is using money from English government? Or Audi and Kumho Tyre who shut down their factories? In reality that it's something that 99% of people will forget about the next week football will be back.
