Don't trust the liberals,
they will betray you
Is that really true anymore. Most people I know support clubs for the community and enjoyment of the game.

Quick Wikipedia search for 2015 revenue per club by league

Premier League - $227 million
Championship - $29 Million
League One - $7.5 Million
League Two - $5 Million

Money isn't the be all and end all. In fact there's considerable benefits to lower league football speicifically due to it's lower revenue.
I know plenty of people who follow local teams in lower league which are actually affordable to buy a season ticket and go to all their games. Good luck doing that as a working class supporter of premier league teams.
