So a lot like pre-lockout NHL, euro soccer teams can't manage their money properly without being forced to? Why would an influx of tens of millions of dollars help? Wouldn't they just waste that on even higher player salaries? Or is it these 'rules that prevent teams from operating at a loss' prevent the mismanagement of funds? Wouldn't these rules still work without the extra $$$ from jersey ads? Or do the 'rules' and ads work together in some way? Honestly curious. Face it, these teams/owners want the money because they like getting richer... it's not to 'survive' IMO.
