    Save the ‘Caps:

    “So, what else can we do to improve our situation? You can’t have a more exciting product on the pitch. [Müller] is loved by everyone. If that still leaves us at the bottom of everything in every revenue category, then there is a bigger underlying problem that we can’t solve ourselves anymore. We need to find solutions. Otherwise I think everyone should be concerned about the long-term option of the Whitecaps in Vancouver.”

      You’ll notice how they always point out being the lowest in revenue… and yet never talk about their costs or their overall profit.

      Yeah, they don’t own their stadium and don’t get revenue from it. That looks terrible! Oh wait, the deal they have with the stadium is actually very cheap and gives them far lower costs than any other team. They make money even after paying for star players, just not ENOUGH money for a billionaire to bother with.
