It's not my POV, but it makes sense from the club's perspective. They're a business at the end of the day, whether you like it or not.
This is a bit dramatic haha.
Not really. It gets pushed all the time, with our club especially.
'Ohh Buddy hasn't won a flag with Sydney, but think about how much merchandise they have sold'.
I couldn't care less about how many t-shirts the club has sold when discussing whether or not a player signing is a success.
'Sydney loves superstars'. Like our fans are brain dead morons who only recognise one player on the field.
