Potential and catchment areas mean nothing now.
That's always been the case though. Maybe not billions in the past but relative the time, millions or hundreds of thousands.

Rich people don't tend to do this as you can pick a club like man City, big catchment area, big club already and make throwing billions at it a lot easier.
