Indeed

If this was purely sport then you can argue that there's all manner of rough with the smooth etc.

Football became business long ago - services were provided, failed and a company (the club) can argue it'll face significant financial loss as a consequence.

Just because reality doesn't align with the romantic idea we have about what football is, doesn't mean we should denigrate people working within that reality.

(also true for talk of 'investment')
