The question is more for Rich, that's what we are trying to get as a club,
but the balance has to be right and there are areas that we have to improve to hit those numbers
and if it's not with sales, because we have to sell what we want to sell as well, not just to sell.
And then we want to sell as well, we have to be very careful because some of the assets
after maybe they grow and we still want them.
So maybe we can grow in other areas across the club as well and commercially we've done incredible.
The fan base that we have is incredible, our mass revenue is incredible.
And there are other ways to grow and that's the club's strategy,
but we want to improve in all of them, obviously,
because it's going to give us a bigger room to be stronger financially.
Well, I don't know, I think each club will have their own strategy.
I think the way they have operated and the results that they got are incredible.
So I think they deserve huge credit for what they've done over the last few years
and I'm sure they are really clever.
There are some very smart people in this football club,
they are really well operated and I'm sure that they are very clear what they want to do.
I mean, his skill as a manager is unquestionable for anybody in the clubs that he's been.
He has always excelled the expectations that he had, which is a massive quality.
Yeah, that's what I've been begging the Premier League.
We can extend those numbers just for the welfare of the players,
which is the most important thing,
because I think every squad needs more than 20 outfield players ideally
to sustain the level of demands, games, international games that we have.
But these are the rules and within the rules we have to play,
otherwise we would play tennis.
You are guaranteed that tomorrow you're going to play and you don't like yourself
and unfortunately the next day you have to play again.
You know, so we need to take it naturally.
Yeah, but I think more than for anybody, I think the question has to be to the players.
What do they want?
If they raise their hands and say, no, I prefer to stay at home and don't travel,
I think we have an issue because then they don't love what they do, which is the matchday.
But I'm sure that if you ask the players,
everybody would like to be part of the squad on matchday
because that's the way that they can fulfil themselves.
Otherwise you have to tell somebody you're not even part of this matchday
and that's really, really tough.
It doesn't help anybody.
It doesn't help the club.
It doesn't help the evaluation of the play.
It doesn't help feel the player that feels part of something.
It's, in my opinion, a real issue that has a really, really simple solution.
Yes, because we had an excellent season as a team,
but he knows that he can do much more than what he did last year in a lot of aspects
and that's the players that we want.
They are now satisfied that they want much more
and Mokayo Setsuna looks with a realistic vision.
