Maybe they considered him too good for young player of the year because of that. Strange logic though.Especially when you consider Rice finished 3rd in the overall Player of the Year voting behind Kane and Son.

I wouldn't have thought that buying something for £3b to make £70m/year would be a sound business decision if the purpose was to make money.It's not just you, I'm just questioning why a person wanting to make money wouldn't look to buy an entity that makes money, rightly or wrongly.
Yeah, and most fans would argue they are doing it wrong.
I'd have thought that ideally sports team profits should be re-invested back into it where possible, but maybe that's just me
Stupid concept and even more stupid in letting fans decide.Any of you guys voted on the Premier League Hall of Fame?
Shearer and Henry already in and now they have opened it up to a 23 man shortlist for the fans to vote with 6 of the 23 with the highest votes going in.
Amazingly, Ryan Giggs was not on the short list. I think being a woman beater has left him off the list which is fantastic.
Here is the list -
Tony Adams
David Beckham
Dennis Bergkamp
Sol Campbell
Eric Cantona
Andy Cole
Ashley Cole
Didier Drogba
Les Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand
Robbie Fowler
Steven Gerrard
Roy Keane
Frank Lampard
Matt Le Tissier
Michael Owen
Peter Schmeichel
Paul Scholes
John Terry
Robin van Persie
Nemanja Vidic
Patrick Vieira
Ian Wright
For the record my 6 votes went to Gerrard, Fowler, Owen (obvs) and then Le Tissier, Bergkamp and Ian Wright.

There's a reason that "What's the best way to make a small fortune? Start with a large one and buy a sports team" is a saying

I never said he'd be losing moneyThere's generally a few reasons people buy football clubs, not just to make money, but the notion that he'd be losing money buying Arsenal is not really accurate.
I'm aware of that saying, but in the last decade I wouldn't really say it's applicable to PL clubs in the upper echelons.
Agree old mate.Stupid concept and even more stupid in letting fans decide.

What?Ies Ferdinand and Ashley Cole on that list is a *****Ing joke. Probably that drunk Tony Adams too.
What?
Go and sit down.
The process of buying the team costs money

Sure, the value of it might go up, but until you sell it that value is near on unusable (unless you're stupid enough to be AC Milan's previous owner, I guess)
Why? Cole is arguably the best LB of his generation.Stand by those opinions to the letter.
Cole was an amazing player who played close to 400 EPL games across 14 seasons, won the league three times, was in team of the year four times, and was voted in the best team after 20 years of prem by both fans and judges.Ies Ferdinand and Ashley Cole on that list is a *****Ing joke. Probably that drunk Tony Adams too.
Pot calling the kettle black there. Poor form.Ies Ferdinand and Ashley Cole on that list is a *****Ing joke. Probably that drunk Tony Adams too.
200 games and no honours is hardly a hof careerLe Tissier definitley deserves a spot there someday.
Absolute gun and probably too loyal for Southampton for his own good (with regards to caps for England etc)
Also used to date our Marilyn from Home and Away
From a Leeds POV, Lucas Radebe is very stiff to miss out on a nomination. Best and most favourite player I have seen in my life time watching Leeds along with Gary Speed (although if he sticks around Raphinha could be up there)
The Chief was a wonderful leader and defender for Leeds, and oh so consistent.
Whisky Face (Fergie) was a big fan and tried to get him to Man Utd a couple of times, but Chief stayed loyal.
Radebe is one of those very rare players that play for your club that you would honestly take a bullet for (I rate loyalty very highly)
All had better careers than Lucas Radebe.Ies Ferdinand and Ashley Cole on that list is a *****Ing joke. Probably that drunk Tony Adams too.
100%Cole was one of the best full backs I’ve seen, went to another level at Chelsea.
