Operating profit affects our ability to buy without selling. If we are making operating profits of £20m a year, we can spend that much per year without selling a single player. So it's important for us to make operating profits because they are predictable and you can plan your transfers around that. We will be making comfortable large amounts of operating profit in the next couple of years. Everyone just hopes that we actually spend what we can easily afford to spend, but it's doubtful that it'll happen. The reason looking at total profits isn't a good way of planning is that transfers are unpredictable. You can't plan to sell £20m worth of players because then it puts you in a situation where you don't have leverage. If you're operating the club well and it's sustainable on its own without needing cashflow from transfers, you can be tougher when negotiating and pick the time that you sell your players. Of course, we're nothing like that.
