Do people really think this model has any chance of success

at Premier level? It's like your local burger shack trying to compete with McDonald's. It's a cute notion but strictly mathematically speaking you have almost no chance of success. I don't blame Webber. Every team has recruited duds. Don't blame the managers either. They are competing against superior talent and the results are expected. Would be a fluke to stay up one year much less get established. Yes 3 billionaire owners get sent down a year. That misses the point. Sport is about competing on a relatively even basis. Our owners don't give us a sniff of that.
