It’s not doing that, it’s a football club. They don’t have any capital equipment of note to invest in, they are not a manufacturing business. Their only property is their stadium, which is a fraction of their spending (8m in FY2022) compared to their acquisition of contracts and intangibles spend (115m in FY2022). The amort is real business expense that gets consumed once the player’s contract expires. The team is a money pit.
