Warkthewark or whatever he is called needs some help
Can you name 5 well run football clubs. Decent viable business models opposed to big spending with current on field success.
A big clue to that is man city are not well run just because they win things and spend lots
I'll give you a start with Accrington |  |

Stanley might seem well run, but that is based on us paying top dollar for some bottom dollar players. |  |

There are not many. Frimley, in particular, are a complete basket case. |  | | |

Based on them making a small profit when they were last in the Championship, Saturday's opponents Burton Albion seem to be pretty well run. They are an itty bitty little club with crowds of around 4-5k yet they still manage to challenge for promotion to the championship and have a commercial income that is similar to ours. | |

They were my next thought after Accrington so we will take them. 3 more to go
A few said Posh but Darragh had to go out and find new investors for them because it was getting too much and they must be making big losses. | |

They were utterly fooked without the promotion and they wanted the manager out during the season. They are better run than so many though | |

Would Spurs count. Didn't make a signing last season and still ended up in the CL final |  |

they made a substantial profit in 2017/18 5th biggest in the league, and at the same time I think they finished 7th | |

They do seem to try and operate a sustainable model though.
Compare their spending this summer with Villa's £140m splurge, and Fulham's £100m the previous summer. Likewise, they work on a principle that every player has their price, and nobody is irreplaceable.
Yes, there has been the issue with big sales/promotions seemingly coming in the nick of time, but they certainly make every effort not to run at a loss. |  |

Hate to agree with this but I have to. Their managerial appointments, recruitment and (from the sounds of things) community outreach have been so far ahead of ours in the last decade it’s been embarrassing. |  |

Wolves are the furthest away from well run club as possible. They are everything wrong with football. Any of our fans that aspire to be wolves should find a new club | |

Half our fans would definitely cheat at Football Manager by also being the boss of Real Madrid and buying Skuse for 200 million. |  |
