[i.e. funding the club with debt]"
What Lazie still does not understand is that both clubs are burdened with debt - REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE. This is important because clubs are stand alone entities and their finances are not commingled with that of their individual investors.
Manu's debt service is crushing them, so they are now doing what Chelsea or City may presumably do in future if they decide to "bail" - sell equity on the public markets to reduce debt. This could very well happen in Chelsea's future or City's as well.
Very simple...but clearly...not simple enough for the simpletons.
