Exactly. SCO is taking an extreme and improbable hypothetical position. The fans are not going to pay good money to see third rate players while the club sells talented ones. So, attendance and gate returns will go down. We've been down this road numerous times before.
At the last fan forum DC spoke about the likely possibility of a points deduction next season if we did not get our losses under control. This will be the first season where a points deduction is possible and so far we have done nowhere near enough to prevent that from happening, but selling one player for 15-20m would remove that possibility.
Football fans for generations have paid money at S6 to watch third rate players, all of us included, while we have watched the likes of Brunt, Whelan, and Di Canio being sold, but for the first time we need to sell someone to balance the books, not because we are short of money but because under the rules we have spent too much!!
I would suggest you listen to one of the podcasts on Wednesday Week that covered this topic in a lot of detail, and read up about the rules etc we are now being forced to adhere to. What the fans want, and what they are prepared to pay has nothing to do with this.
