Wasn’t the old business mantra “speculate to accumulate”?
And “to be a success in business you have to be a risk-taker”?
Perhaps some businessmen owners took this too literally. Sure football clubs are businesses, but a special type of business that borders on being a social service.
Will be interesting to see what happens to Moss Rose and if Macc reform as a Phoenix club in the near future. Can’t see the residents of Treacletown rushing off to Crewe or Port Vale once fans are allowed to return.
