he thinks burger vans are "making a fortune". It's remarkable how small minded and somewhat deluded the people at the top are

@Maxwell Boyne businesses selling for 50k might have an annual turnover of roughly 80k, but i think burger vans around football grounds would make even less than that, since my example is of businesses that run all year round, so i think 60k is closer. Take out running costs, employee wages, taxes; bearing in mind it's only home matches and the end of season break is nearly 3 months long, net profit is probably about 15k, annually. For 20 vans you're looking at 300k per year, on the high end. That 300k is 1 week's salary for 1 top player, and it took a year to earn it. Chump change

@Maxwell Boyne that 15k is after tax profits, and profits are what's left after you pay everyone, and meet all operational costs. Profit is NOT salary

@Darwinion I think the sum of all burger vans is still chump change, and you're essentially robbing 100+ people of a meagre living for a 0.3% increase in match day earnings. There are so many legitimate financial avenues to pursue, but this miserly dolt insists on putting his hand into the burger man's quite shallow pocket.

@Maxwell Boyne so it's not "for 15k", like you claimed. that's all i'm saying.
