I didn't say professional footballers retire. I questions a club paying in excess of 20m for a player that is not yet back from an ACL injury that he sustained last Nov. Regardless of rhetoric, a ruptured ACL is a career threatening injury. There is risk the player may not return to the...
I didn't say it ends careers, the data I posted gives the results of a study and it suggests it does end some careers (19%), and a lot of the time the player doesn't recover to their previous level. Hence my comment. Would a club really spend over 20m on a player that is not back playing since...

When the new stadium opens the revenue from the old stadium will cease. I don't know what the uplift will be but if GP is 16m a year I can't imagine that rising to much over 25m. If loans are taken out to build it then the uplift could all go on repayments.
